Smile and Happiness.. A free Medical Camp in B-Tanda Village
Yes it is!! A smile speaks more than words. And the picture says
it all. Event was organized on 'Saturday the 13th' but preparation started from
12th only! As Deepthy mentioned in her mail that we may not find descent
hotels, so be prepared. I asked my mom can she prepare 15-20 chapatis and I
will help her in doing that. She said yes and next morning we both prepared
Panneer curry and Chapatis.
I and Sandeep decided to go in Rajesh's Car as we were staying
very close to his place. And my other BTC friends were in Majestic as planned
to come in KSRTC bus.
First we 3 reached the Anganwadi kendra at Yellodu and called
Deepthy, she said she is on the way and may reach in next 10 minutes. We were
so happy that we were on time and can give a warm welcome to Deepthy and her
fellow Doctors. So mean while we started taking some pics. Then after 20
minutes of time we didn't find anybody from BTC approaching to that place and
asked some villagers over there about the medical camp and every time we got
the replay as 'NO'. Then somehow we got to know that actual place we need to
reach is 'B.Tanda' and there are many Tanda's with intials A, B, C ...
etc.
We reached the actual destination at 10:10AM and by that time
Deepthy with her Doctors and nursing staff were already reached the place and
started arranging the things. And some 15-20 villagers were already waiting for
us to get their turn fast. After some time I heard one auto sound coming
towards our medical camp center and I saw our remaining BTC friends reached the
place. -Most of them were known faces :-) :-) :-).

maindola, Omprakash, Rajesh and last but not least Gaurav Kamath ;-)We started our process as planned, so the plan was Juby will do the Registration, Hiren to check the BP and Pulse rate, Rajesh and Raja will take the medicine from store w.r.t the prescription, myself to cross verify the medicine and explain the same to villagers if Kannada Subtitle is needed, else Sonali was at her best to explain most of the villagers in preferred language as Telugu. Yogini to help old people to move around from one section to other. Sasi, Sreemoyee(Distributing chocolates to all the kids), Praveen, Anil and Omprakash to manage the crowd and help them. Sandeep to take the snaps :-D
Villagers came in good numbers and the camp was going very good.
With an awesome support from villagers and very enthusiastic children's. We
were feeling happy to give our best in getting smile in each individuals face.
But seeing some people, we were also in some mixed feelings. But everything
went nice and we did our best in providing free health checkup and Medicines
for more than 130 people. With lots of sooper excited kids, who gave us good
support and Guava's. The process went around till 1:30 PM. After this we had a
small photo session, cycle ride and then we decided to have our Lunch but
Villagers had an awesome surprise for us!! They have prepared Vegetable
Biriyani with Raitha and Pickle. Before they get food, me and Hiren started
distributing one chapathi and little bit of Panneer curry to everyone. I hope
everyone liked it. Later everyone had the Hot and Yummy Biriyani.
Everyone finished their lunch and we started distributing cadbury
silk, chocolates, biscuits etc.. And then our photo session continued with some
PJ's and some fun moments.
Since we were well ahead of time, we decided to go to nearby
temple called Lepakshi, Which is 15-20KM far from that village. We reached
Lepakshi temple, had a good time over there, had some photo shoots and then we
reached a chai shop there we had the feedback session and greeted each other
again and said bye bye!!
Thank you all for your
wonderful support and everything.
