The Lakers have donated 2 incubators (baby warmers) and a phototherapy unit to the maternity department of the Sarvoday Hospital (Sarvoday), being run by a private charitable trust, in Ghatkopar, Mumbai.

The unit was in inaugurated at 10am on the 28th November, ‘09, at the hands of DG TN Subramanian, in the august presence of first lady Vidhya, trustees and doctors from the Sarvodaya Hospital and a group of enthusiastic Lakers and their friends.

Sarvoday is strategically located on LBS Marg, within minutes of Ghatkopar Station and has a large catchment of very deserving patients, particularly from the nearby Parksite. Parksite, extending from Ghatkopar to Vikhroli, houses a large migrant, daily-wage, under-privileged and hence deserving population in Mumbai.

Sarvoday’s maternity ward had only one unfunctional incubator while it handles about 150 deliveries a month.

These baby-warmers are very essential in neonatal paediatric care, particularly in the case of pre-term, low weight babies. The photo-therapy unit was found to be much needed in cases of neonatal jaundice. One more such unit is being provided.

The incubators help in maintaining neonatal body temperature and hence in the prevention of other

complications, in cases of premature and complicated deliveries, thereby improving mortality rate.

on the occasion.

This is about the visit to one of the remedial school (under the aegis of VIDYA) situated at Phule nagar , near IIT, Powai. The school is supervised by its co-coordinator Mrs. K.B. Joshi, a retired KVIIT teacher, who has been mentoring about 65 under privileged children, from phule nagar and surya nagar, for the past 6 years.

Besides these children, Mrs. Joshi has also mentored more than 60 women by teaching them how to read and write. The passion with which she has been managing this school is unparalled. Despite belonging from an affluent family, she never let the strata difference make her wards feel alienated. Nor does she think twice even if she has to walk to school weathering all seasons. She has a son, working with Transocean and a computer engineer daughter, settled in the USA.

Below is a video interview with Mrs.Kadambari Joshi where she shares her experience about running this remedial school at Phule Nagar slums.
