Rotary returns Smiley's smile!

Last month, Chandigarh Newsline reported the financial support required by Smiley (14) who was suffering from congenital cardiac problem, to which Rotary Club of Chandigarh responded immediately and took her under their care.

The Club contacted the parents and Smiley was admitted to Fortis Hospital where she was operated on 4th of September and was discharged today after successful surgery to lead a normal healthy life.

Rotary Club of Chandigarh bore the entire cost of her surgery to which the students of Bhavan Vidyalaya, who are members of the Interact Club in the school promoted by Rotary Club, also contributed Rs.20,000, while hospitalization was taken care of by the club’s partner, Fortis Hospital.

“Our mission in Rotary is that no child from economically weaker section requiring cardiac surgery intervention should remain bereft of it”, said former world president of Rotary International, Rajendra K. Saboo.
