We, the entire group of workers at Jagriti Vihara, express our deep gratitude to our friends and supporters whose contributions made it possible for us to carry out our plans and programmes.
As you have been informed earlier our priorities are as follows:
1. Health
2. Education
3. Empowerment of women and action to bring about gender equality
Village hospital
You will be glad to know that the newly built CHIKITSALAYA (health care centre/village hospital) was started on 16 July 2013. Since then it has been serving the villagers in our neighbourhood. Three persons, a doctor, a nurse and a pharmacist, work in the CHIKITSALAYA.
School for girls
The long and eagerly awaited news now! The newly started secondary school for girls is functioning well. Three ladies, two teachers and a warden for the girls´ hostel are, as expected, taking good care of the school. The work which was started to empower women having only subservient positions even in their families has been progressing satisfactorily.
The wall
And another thing. The planned compound wall on the entrance side of the campus is also being constructed. We hope to complete the work before the end of this year, depending on the availability of the required amount of money.
Lack of Caretaker
What we are now worried about is the lack of means to appoint a care taker of the buildings, a couple of persons to carry out the skill training activities and a gardener
Some of our friends are fully aware about our needs, but it takes much time and energy for a non-profit voluntary organization like ours to get people involved in fund raising activities. Anyway, we will, as usual, continue working to find ways and means to overcome our difficulties.
With warm greetings,
Lucy, Sushil and Rajesh ( The Information Group )
