With the Divine Blessings and Grace of our Sai, Madras Boys participated in the Sidha Medical Camp and Vertinary Camp, last Sunday. Even though it rained heavily in Chennai, The Doctors and the Youth Team decided to go ahead with the grama seva, after due deliberation. In spite of the cloudy condition at the village school premises, there was no rain and approximately 858 Patients were given free medical treatment.
Simultaneously, with this Seva activity, 4 more Water Tanks were inaugurated, in 4 different villages, as part of Swami’s Birthday Celebrations. The 4 Water Tanks were built at – Malliankuppam School, Thandalam School, Perandur Village Hospital, and Perandur School. Perandur School incidentally, was the same venue, where the Medical and Vertinary Camp were also conducted.
About 2,500 children would be benefited by this water project. Water facility for the school toilets, were also newly provided, as the toilets built by the government, did not have water supply.
The Perandur Hospital, where the water facility was provided, caters to medical needs for about 10 villages around the district. On any given weekend, nearly 400 patients come for treatment and on an average, 5 deliveries take place, at the women’s ward. The hospital nurses used to bring water in pots from main road, during the delivery period and also for dressing open wounds at the First Aid section. Understanding the urgent need, water facility was provided , thus bringing great relief to the hospital staff and the patients.
Looking back, in the morning, we all were holding strong views, that the grama seva, should to be called off, because of the heavy rains. After the Grama Seva in the evening, Swami made us realize that his work never stops and that we are fortunate for being instrumental in His Divine work.
