Off week

We are not visiting Chargheri this week as we had distributed stuff for 2 weeks last time. We plan to visit the next weekend to distribute food and medicines for the next fortnight. In the intervening time we will also assess if we can manage to provide a few more of the essential requirements. Polythene sheets were one of these. Some of the Chargheri people requested for these sheets when we enquired about any other essential requirements at the time of last distribution.

We had noticed that some of the common medicines were already in short supply and needed to be replenished. The common ailments of adults and children were also noted down. Stocks need to be maintained of medicines for those ailments. If things go as per plan, we may also have a kind doctor joining us on these Chargheri visits in the coming weeks to run a 'proper' medical camp.

Khelaghar had arranged for useful medicines in the first few weeks. We are happy to learn that we now have commitments of support stocks for medicines as well. We may get some boxes of such medicines from our generous supporters for the next trip.
