Health Camp: Mountain View School, Ambala

An initiative by Dream a Difference to promote health awareness and extend medical support.

Dream a Difference, in association with social activist Ms. Yogita Bhayana, organized a Medical Camp for 200 children at The Mountain View School, run by Shri Swami Rama Foundation Trust and located at Village Bhurewala, Tehsil Naraingarh, Distt. Ambala.

The Camp was conducted by an expert team of Doctors - Dr Sunila, Pediatric Dentist from Chandigarh along with Dr. Harpreet and Dr Vinod, General Practitioners from Naraingarh. They were assisted by a team of three nurses.

Along with the basic health check-up, the idea of the health camp was to highlight the importance of Preventive Health and improved diet of the children.

This program was attended by Hon'ble Sarpanch of the Village, educationists and parents. Media coverage was done by Punjab Kesari and Divya Himachal. The program also promoted campaign of ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ through cultural program presented by students.

The panel of doctors conducted a medical examination of students by checking their height, weight, dental and ENT check-up. Personal health cards were issued to all the students where the doctors documented their diagnosis. Typical diagnosis and recommendation by doctors were:

• Students were found underweight and slightly anemic – doctors recommended deworming of every children once in every 6 months.

• Increased intake of milk, green vegetables and protein in diet is required for the kids.

• Promoting appropriate intake of water.

Overall, the doctors were satisfied with the personal hygiene and dental health of the children. The health camp was concluded with distribution of medicines such as calcium supplement, vitamin syrup and iron folic acid syrup to students.

Dream a Difference team also conducted awareness and educational session to encourage children to maintain good hygiene in order to lead a happy and a healthy life.

Nizamuddin Slum Relief

Delhi is one of the biggest metropolises in the world with a population of around 18 million, but has a large population of lower income group which have to live in slums. These people are mostly unemployed or daily-wage workers who find it difficult to afford even the basic necessities of life.

On 16th May, 2017 a massive fire broke out in southeast Delhi’s Nizamuddin area, engulfing a number of shanties. Dream a Difference came to know about this and took the onus to serve for the cause. Our team visited the spot and witnessed several people homeless, bereft of any household items, clothes or food. Children with anxiety in their hearts were dawdling on the streets, while there were no visible signs of help from the Delhi government. No tents were erected and the helpless people were forced to survive under the sky, exposed to the scorching heat of summer.

Our team promptly jumped to action and arranged food, water, energy drinks and medicines for the victims. Our team also found that two children were suffering from high fever. An ambulance was immediately arranged for and they were admitted to RML hospital for proper treatment.

In such times, it is important that we as a society come together to provide all the help to the homeless and the destitute. Dream a Difference is committed to such causes and is always available for assisting the underprivileged community.
