I would be interested in picking up only
children's magazines so that they can be given to students in municipal
schools in mumbai. This is similar to a project in the US, www.magazineliteracy.org .
Over there, they get companies to sponsor the magazines in schools.
Here, if the magazines are in good shape, they can be
redistributed to economically challenged families who may not be
aware of children's magazines.
Also, if you know of any people working
in publishing houses who have children's magazines, do let me know, so
that they can be contacted for their unsold copies of magazines, educational
material etc.
Regards
Hitesh

Zilla Mahila Karagruha, situated in Byculla, is
a cell for women undertrials. It was previously a part of the Arthur Road
Jail, but today it is a separate cell. There are 200-300 women undertrials
in the prison and 20-30 children upto the age of 7 in the prison. We, students of Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Masters in Social Work, First Year, are placed in the prison for fieldwork. We are placed under the Medical and Psychiatric Social Work Department and our work involves, counseling the inmates, making home visits, organizing events for them, like health camps, vocational training, fund raising etc. We have regular interactions with them and while talking to them we found out that the inmates have a lot of idle time and want to utilize it effectively. Thus they want us to set up a small library with books, magazines and newspapers in the prisons. A cupboard is thus required to store these books, magazines etc. The flow of communication between the prisoners and the outside world is crucial in exposing and preventing human rights abuses and also for their reintegration into the society. For the library, inmates require novels, magazines and other reading material basically in 4 languages i.e. Hindi, English, Marathi and Bengali. A few books and charts for children, who are under the age of 10, would be appreciated. Newspapers are not required since, the jail is already providing. An inmate has volunteered to maintain the library and also keep a check on the books being issued. A register would thus be maintained and after she goes out it will be passed on to another inmate. We will be responsible for the listing of books and cataloguing them and the inmates will also be involved in the process. Preetika Sachar Nizni Hans nizni_hans@rediffmail.com |

Rotary Club of Kandivli (W) is inaugurating a library at the Rotary Service
Centre on SV Road on Feb 6. Says Manhar Mandaliya, president of the Rotary Club of Kandivli (W), “Rotary is internationally celebrating 100 years of existence on Feb 23 and has asked every club to come up with a permanent project for community development. That is why we have decided to open this library.” The library will comprise 5,000 books in English, Marathi and Gujarati and every language will have a separate section devoted to it. Members will also be able to surf through the Internet as the library plans to install four Internet terminals in a month. Informs Mandaliya, “We have everything from reference books on management, science and encyclopedias to fiction, non-fiction and a magazine section.” In order to be technology savvy, the club has also acquired a collection of over 1,000 CDs. “The CDs will facilitate the learning processes in children. We have CDs on various subjects like mathematics, science and others that will be interesting and easy to understand for children,” reveals Mandaliya. For all this and more, the library has a very nominal membership fee — a meager Rs 40 per month for schoolchildren and Rs 75 per month for adults. “We will give out free memberships to municipal school children who are underprivileged,” reveals Mandaliya adding that the entire idea of setting up a library was to promote reading habit among the children. According to Mandaliya, there is no library in Kandivli that provides literature on such a huge variety of subjects. “We conducted a survey in 2003 and found that most libraries in Kandivli stock only novels and magazines. However, our purpose is not just to provide entertainment, but also education,” says Mandaliya. He adds that children are watching too much TV these days and that reduces the amount they read. “Even my own children don’t read enough and I feel that reading as a habit must be encouraged as it develops strong morals values in people,” he explains. Although the library hasn’t been formally inaugurated, Mandaliya says they have recieved positive responses from people who have visited the library. He informs that all schools from Kandivli have been personally invited for the inauguration on Feb 6. “After the inauguration we will conduct a rally in Kandivli along with a float of a huge book and the Rotary centennial emblem,” he concludes.

‘Mobile phones" and "Pagers"
has come to Bombay Leprosy Project's rescue to overcome the communication
barrier. These gadgets enable the workers to establish contact with the
Central Monitoring cell even from the depths of the congested slums and
rural areas as the communication network has wide coverage (roaming facility).
BLP is the first project to use these instruments in leprosy management
since 1998 to establish contact with the community volunteers CVs working
in the slums as well as remote areas and thereafter give specific advice
or instructions on the management of complications that might be encountered
by them. The paramedical workers PMWs & CVs working in the field are
equipped with mobile phones and pagers which have made a breakthrough
in providing instant medical consultation to leprosy patients thereby
preventing the occurrence of consequences such as reactions / neuritis
and development of new disability, by providing instant (on the spot)
decisions on the immediate treatment with steroids. This technology has
been found useful in improving patient care and also in avoiding delay
in communication.

For Mumbai's deaf
population, Short Messaging Service (SMS) has become the single-most efficient
form of communication.
Meher Sethna-Dadabhoy, coordinator of the Indian Sign Language at the Ali Yawar Jung National Institute for the Hearing Handicapped, Bandra, says a mobile phone has become essential for hearing-impaired, working people. "Once they begin working, their priority is not food or entertainment, it's getting a mobile phone," she says. The popularity of the SMS is easily explained: text is short and understood even by those not used to the English language. It’s also quick, and since most mobiles can be set on vibrator mode, the deaf user is easily alerted to a message. Once they start working, there is the need to use a mobile for communication. If they cannot afford to buy one, many try to at least share a phone, Sethna-Dadabhoy says. But though SMS seems like something of an answer to their prayers, the cost of buying a mobile and paying the monthly bill is high. Motwani says he spends Rs 300 on his SMS bill. This is more than many of the hearing impaired can afford. So now you know
where to donate your old mobiles!

Seven-year-old Mehak Khanna, a resident
of Lokhandwala, is proud of herself. While kids her age hoard toys,
she has given one of her favourite Barbie dolls to Toy Bank
— an organisation that collects toys from kids who are willing to donate
them and gives them to the needy kids.
The toy donation has pleased Mehak’s mother, Charu Khanna too. She says, “There are four kids in our family and there are many toys which the kids don’t need anymore. They have outgrown them. I am happy that they will be useful to some other kid.” Toy Bank is the brainchild of Andheri resident Shweta Gopal (23), Vikhroli resident Swati Rumde (21) and Malad resident Sunisha Kunjappan (24). They started three months ago by making the rounds of Andheri and Malad, knocking on the doors and asking people to donate toys. The trio came up with the idea when Shweta decided that she had to do something about her old toys. “That’s when we decided to do something in a more organised fashion,” says Sunisha. Then began the calls, the emails and the networking. And they didn’t have to ask for more. “People were so helpful. We didn’t hope to get such good response,” adds the 24-year-old copywriter Sunisha. One such helpful resident is Shalini Kanchandani, who runs a beauty salon at Lokhandwala. She has already donated a bagful of toys, while her daughter Ekta is collecting some more. Toy Bank plans to collect toys till Nov 14. “We plan to involve schools and colleges in our drive,” adds Shweta. To donate toys, call Sunisha on 9820856315 or Swati on 9821352836 or email toybank@rediffmail.com. You can also drop your toy in the donation box at St Blaise Church, Amboli. http://ww1.mid-day.com/metro/lokhandwala/2004/october/95772.htm |

I am from World Vision India, a Christian
NGO working with the poorest of the poor and with the child as our focus
and no regard to caste, creed, religion, gender, location, etc. Our work
is spread across the country in what we call Area Development Programs
(ADPs) in both rural and urban belts.
In some of our ADPs, the children have
shown keen interest in learning computers and, by God's Grace, in some
of them we have the space to keep the computers even if it is congested.
We need some (about 20-25) used computers to impart the training. These
could be such that they can be used for basic training. No frills or
any such thing needed.
Could you please use your good offices/network
for checking the possibility of donations of the same? Our beneficiaries
will be very grateful. God Bless You.

We, Rotarians of Link Town, Airoli,
are doing Yeomen services to the community where we live.
During the past three years, we undertook the following significant activities; 1) Constructed a toilet facility for children for a poor School, Ektha Vidyalaya, in Rabale slum area. 2) Conducted free eye check-up camp at Talavali Village and Twelve patients were operated for cataract removal on free of cost basis. 3) Conducted a two days medical camp for Diabetic Patients which included various tests like ECG, Blood Check-up etc. Over 190 persons benefited out of this camp. 4) Regularly conducting Career Guidance Seminar for the children in schools and colleges in Airoli. 5) Creating awareness on pollution and encouraging students and public on the importance of conservation of trees, by organising `Mass Tree Plantation Drive' every year. We are a part of various regular ongoing projects of Rotary International like Pulse Polio, Blood Donation Drive etc. In the month of January'2005, we intend to construct a Drinking water facility at NMMT Bus Depot, Sector 3, Airoli. We have already applied to the Municipal Commissioner and received clearance from them. We have made necessary drawings for the civil work and submitted for formal approval which we expect by 30/11/04. Meantime, may we request you to consider us for providing a Water Cooler on free of cost basis for this noble cause. Being a high density area due to its location, an ideal size of the cooler may be 75 to 100 litres or above. We will be glad to meet you and give you whatever details you ask for. Rtn.V SURESH BABU |

Kavita is the co-ordinator of Samman,
www.ieasamman.org/aboutus.html ,
an epilepsy support group since 1991 of www.indianepilepsyassociation.org/Mumbai_act.html .
I was unaware of several things. 1 out
of 100 Indians suffer from epilepsy! Epileptics have extremely low
self-esteem as they are teased as children, have great difficulty getting
married, and also have a very tough time getting a job. Considered a stigma
rather than a medical problem, many keep their condition a secret thus
depriving themselves as well as the cause of epilepsy of the support it
needs and deserves.
Samman
would appreciate help in the following ways:
- volunteers / event mgt
- a sponsor has agreed to support a musical program at Shanmukhananda
Hall on Jan 8 to enable fundraising but Samman is a small org and basically
since its own members are epileptic, they need volunteers and, in fact,
would like to know of an org who can manage the entire event.
- counselling resources
- pyscho-social and spiritual counselling resources for this group
which meets every Saturday would be useful
- support of schools
- they have a 1 hour workshop Share the World to sensitise children
- support of clubs -
they have 2 solo plays of 10 min each which they would love to stage (were
invited to Bangkok too)
- subsidised medicines
for those who can't afford would be great
Kavita
is very interested if some org can donate and support a modified
van that disabled people can phone and
call for their travel use when they need. The
van would be adapted to hold a wheelchair, etc. There is
no such facility in Mumbai!
Kavita is publishing a resource book -
Journey to Empowerment - and also greeting
cards to help Prasad a teenager with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Support
her by buying these. Do also sell your own products through www.childraise.com
and help the cause.
Not only is Kavita's own story ( www.childraise.com/aboutus.Htm )
inspiring, but it is amazing to see this ever-smiling lady do
so many things while being in a demanding full-time job! Her email id
is kavitashanbhag@yahoo.com.

Creches is in desperate need of a computer for our day care centre at Patlipada.
At the centre the children are not only provided with nutrition, education,
recreational activities and health care, but are also given a chance to
be exposed to learning on the computer. A dedicated volunteer had been coming
for some time to teach the children computers, but unfortunately the hard
drive is corrupted and is beyond repair. We are not in a position to buy
a new computer. The children are really suffering due to the break in their
classes and eagerly await the day their classes would resume once again.
We would be extremely grateful if any of you could donate a computer for the purpose. Please get in touch with us at 22020869.Thanks Pallavi .From: Mobile Creches FULFILLED - THANK YOU VERY MUCH |

-chairs, tables, book shelves, Cupboard etc Needed 3: 2 computers,
2 printers |
| • | Perhaps
what needs to be emphasised is that it's not always necessary to donate
brand new stuff. Second hand material is
equally useful. So, furniture, equipment, stationery,
etc. that is not usable by corporates will find a happy home with ngos. The other welcome donation wouuld be products that cannot be sold because they are slightly soiled. For example, rolls of tissue or paper kitchen towels are in constant use in free dispensaries and clinics (human and animal). Even if the external packing looks grubby and cannot be sold, they could easily be used in such places. Email lyla@thehindu.co.in if you have such stuff. |

near Akbarallys at Fountain has offered shop space free of cost to sell
items and let proceeds go to animal welfare groups. The shop operates
on a thrift shop principle - people donate items which are priced lower
than the market rate and the proceeds go to charity. Here's how you can help: 1. donate or ask people to donate gently used/new items. Anything usable is welcome. 2. help to collect items from people who are unable to deliver. 3. offer to store some items in your home/office. 4. publicise the shop by copying this and sending it to people or printout and put on public bulletin boards. For details about volunteering or donating things call Lyla at 9821733529 or email her at lyla@thehindu.co.in DO NOT drop items directly at Beauforts. It's only a point of sale. Thanks |
