Free Medical Camp

Dear all,

AMURT (Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team) KL is organising a FREE MEDICAL CAMP for a group of underprivileged villagers in BUKIT DARAH, Sungai Buloh on the 4th May 2008. Dr. Prakash and his team of volunteer doctors will conduct the medical camp in SJK(T) Bukit Darah because the target group of the medical camp include the schoolchildren and their parents.

From our survey and a dialogue session with the Head Mistress of the school, we found out that the children will need DEWORMING MEDICATION. Some of them are dependent on the free food distribution given to them in the school (RMT- Rancangan Makanan Tahunan) and we are told that some of them go without a proper meal during weekends! Many of them are undernourished.

Many of these kids are the products of broken homes and they are supported by single mothers whose husbands have either abandoned them, or are in jail, or have died prematurely from alcohol-related or other health problems. Concerned for the poor mothers of the community, the HM also asked us to provide FREE PAP SMEARS and BREAST EXAMINATION for the women. Since these women are from the hardcore poor, they do not have their own transport and are unable to go to the nearby Hospital which is approximately 15 km away to get these tests done. They are also daily wage earners and cannot afford to take a day off in order to attend to their medical needs. Most of them earn less than RM 500.

So WHAT CAN WE DO?

CAN YOU SPONSOR A CHILD or A MUM?

We have 200 CHILDREN who need deworming; 50 MUMS who need pap smears, and 50 other adults who need general medical check-ups.
Cost per child is RM 5
Cost per mum is RM 30
Cost per man is RM 5
