Medical Treatment support to an infant undergoing Bone Marrow Transplant

During our club annual official Chairman's visit on 12 Nov 2014,  an appeal was raised by Fort Club that a baby is suffering from unfortunate C and needs medical help to support undergoing Bone Marrow Transplant shortly.  The donar to the child  is her elder sister who is just 9 years old.  

In a gesture of support, 2 of our members came forward immediately (Sanjuktha Rs 10,000 and Kusum- Rs 1000) and we were able to give on behalf of our club Rs 11000 to the needy child and her mother who were present that day.  All clubs put together were able to pull together Rs 51000 for this cause and hope there will be more donars coming forward to help this family and the child to come back with good health

IWC Madras South is always proud of its members who come forward with their support both in cash and kind, in effort and understanding that makes this first IWC in South India stand tall in all its activities

Children's Day Project - Gifted Solar Lamps and Shoes Set to children in Rural India

During our Club official Chairman's Visit on 12 Nov 2014, we presented a cheque of Rs 20,000 to Thilak to take the solar lamps to the children of 10th and 12th grades from villages around Periyanayakapalayam in Coimbatore District and the same was delivered to the needy 10th and 12th children on time - 14th Nov 2014, personally by Thilak and Mahe who requested us for this.

We can call this project a great success. Very happy when we do personalized projects that touch lives directly even it means a small gift, of what the children actually need.

This children's day IWC Madras South touched 98 children directly- giving 52 children first time footwear in life in Bommidi village and 46 children, lights after sun set in Periyanayakapalam - It is an immense satisfaction to all of us who contributed to this great cause
