Free Medical Camps for the Poor

FCF Project: Family Services India

We organize medical camps for anywhere between 200 - 400 orphans and physically handicapped children in Bangalore. Fifteen doctors from various faculties, general physicians, dentists, E.N.T. specialists, ophthalmologists and opticians donate their services.

The children have check-ups done and then proceeded to a sumptuous lunch provided by various restaurants, and entertainment is provided by our young people. In the following weeks all the children who require medical attention will be treated by these same doctors.

Previously, we had been approached by the National Association for the Blind (NAB) to help them in a fundraising venture for the nine million blind people in India, of which two million are children. NAB invited the world-acclaimed Blues guitarist, Jeremy Spencer, to hold benefit concerts toward this end, and we were able to approach over 20 companies to acquire sponsorship. The concerts were a wonderful success, news of which hit newspapers and magazines throughout India, and more importantly, the funds raised will be making a world of difference to a great number of the needy of India.
