Uttarakhand Flood Relief Material sent by abhaya reached Dehradun Report from Ground O As you are aware Anand Singh is carrying the material for distribution to Uttarkashi. There was avalanche on the road from Dehradun to Uttarkashi. It rained heavily for 2-3 days, which made parts of the road muddy/un-commutable, and all the vehicles were stopped on both side of the patch that had caved in. Anand had to spend more than 24 hours at the spot with the truckload without any amenities from 23rd evening to 24th July night. The truckload reached Uttarkashi last night after 10 PM and I received the text message from Anand Singh that he has succeeded in crossing the spot and reached the town after the daylong struggle, the transporter and the truck driver demanding as much as they could for this transportation. Villages around Uttarkashi have been asked to come up with list of families and the material will be distributed in a day or two after verifying the records. It will not be possible to transport the material to the villages with damaged roads. Local volunteers have been roped in for the distribution. This is one of the toughest jobs. We are still feeding people from 50 villages daily and would be distributing ration for coming 4 months as everything has been washed away. -.Shyam Parande, SEWA International, Delhi

10 Latest Report from Uttarakashi On 23rd July, we started from Risikesh Kendra for reaching Gangori Kendra. Had to stay at Chindwali Sound from 23rd July 7.15 PM to 24th July 6.30 PM due to severe damage to the route and inability of the vehicle to move on. Reached Gangori Saraswathi Shishu Mandir at 7.45 PM on 24th July, Unloaded the relief material safely. It was on 25th July from Pm to 4.30 Pm took up the work of packing the material for convenient distribution to the victims with the help of local Volunteers Pm conducted Baithak discussing the Distribution process. But, due to unexpected rains distribution delayed. Amongst the identified 35 Families of 5 villages, only 21 Families of 3 villages only could be distributed. Most of the families receiving the material either were daily wage earner or those whose houses have been completely washed off in the floods. The villages between Gangori and Maneri namely Hena, Garam Pani, Kwari, Naitala, Ungi, Didsari, about 12 villages about 70 families out of the said villages, have been identified and distribution is going on in the form of 2-4 families at a time. Volunteers who are involved in the relief work whose own families are struck badly in the floods or whose villages are disconnected due to heavy rains, are also being helped in all possible ways.due to heavy rains and cloudburst most of the villages beyond Gangori are disconnected and roads are badly damaged, the D.M. of Uttarkashi also issued orders stopping the distribution work, as it may result in casualties or injuries to both volunteers and victims, in this circumstances plans are on to continue the relief work without disobeying the orders of the D.M. In view of the said orders taking rescue material to the victims has become difficult as there is a limit of 25 kg maximum weight to be carried by a Pittu and 60 Kg for a Khachar. which would be expensive and impractical. Between Gangori and Maneri about 13 Km the cost of One Khachar is between 1000 to 1200 rupees and that of a Pithu for 1 to 1.5 Km is about 250 to 300 rupees. For few families who are dislocated from high altitude villages and have been staying at Garam Pani, Kot Bangla, Laksheshwar, Gangori villages as refugees have been identified and relief material like clothes, Kitchen kit, given by abhaya Foundation have been distributed apart from making the Food material UDAPSS. Most of the families above are migrants from Orissa, Bihar and Nepal. Preparation of further list of beneficiaries and Pradhans undertaking such distributions is under process. Press release had been issued and the same was covered by Rashtra Dev, Amar Ujala but no publication is reported till now. Anand Singh, SWEA International, from Uttarakashi (by dt 28th July 2013)

12 Mission Mukesh Mukesh has completed 1 month in the rehabilitation center at Bhadrak undergoing mechanical way of physiotherapy and shows a visible improvement. Both the legs lying as log till now have started moving. He is able to stand for 2 to 3 minutes with the help of a walker, which earlier used to bend from waist resulting in fall. I am in regular touch with him and his doctor and am positive on his recovery. I have asked one friend to send a clear photo of his. Necessary arrangement may please be made to deposit Rs.10000/- in child's account - FCMA B.Raul, Manager (Finance), HAL, Bangalore Mission Yesobe: lessons for abhaya I accepted this mission out of my compassion towards the child who is suffering from cancer. In handling this long-term mission,i did not forecast practical difficulties that are involved. This led me to face all kinds of self-created problems. Right now 3 things stopped me to involve in this mission. They are: 1) Work Culture in abhaya foundation: I know as a volunteer apart from providing financial support I also have to direct the 'people in need' in the right direction. I can do this through all the means whatever available to me at that point of time. But abhaya's instruction to me to be present in person every time or arrange some other in place of me which is practically difficult as I don't have such a human resources as of now. In my opinion to work in abhaya as a volunteer we need a lot of infrastructure. 2) In active donors: All the donors, who promised me to fund every month are now becoming silent. It's becoming difficult to remind every time. Now, I feel whether the so-called donors responded looking at my way of appeal or fate of the child? In my opinion in handling such a long term missions volunteer should have high social status and financial status so that they can attract donors that I don't have right now. 3) Above all these, the response from Yesobe's father is very disappointing as he is not at all asking for help, until I initiate the proceedings. It is becoming difficult for me to interpret his financial status. My attachment towards abhaya is so high, which has not allowed me to take any, decision against the foundation and in turn led me to be silent. Anyway, owing to my failure in handling practical issues involved, I would like to inform you"i am concluding the Mission Yesobe with abhaya but not from doing service to people". I will always be thankful to you for encouraging me to do service to people. DurgaNagalakshmi, CS Student. Mission Sharvanee Sharvanee continues to regain her strength and is looking forward eagerly to the day she can remove the ventilator pipes and throw them away. With her father being out of India, biggest motivation for her is to be able to breathe on her own and walk into her father's arms when we are together again. She sure has taught us what perseverance is and how to fight and win against the odds. She had great fun posing for her passport pictures and keeps asking when will she get her book with a picture on it (passport). We need your blessings and prayers. Please keep us in your thoughts. - Sandhya, Hyderabad Dell,

Let me know how I can start from here People like Shubh Raj Singh and Puneeth think differently. They represent a new breed of young Indians who don't believe in passing judgments on the nations inadequacies during canteen chitchats.

We had requested them to train the teachers and they delivered more than what we expected. They are satisfied, Teachers are empowered, Nation moves forward.

I would like to consistently visit to teach there. Please let me know if this is possible or is there any opportunity where I can teach and guide kids. Not to mention, I would always like to be a volunteer for all the abhaya camps and programs apart from my regular tasks to teach. I Will get in touch with Siva and complete that as well ASAP. Issues that need our attention: Only one English speaking teacher. Difficult to retain teachers. Ground is small for 200 students. Non-teaching staff is also required. Staff, rooms and ground limited. Only 10 parents come to parent's meeting Session on importance of education required. People pursuing higher education is less.

22 HEART Rural Development Update Exactly after 15 months of Venkatesh got connected to abhaya... its efforts of reprogramming his life became reality. abhaya salutes Sri EJP Prasad for his consistent and continuous focus on mission Venkatesh. abhaya feels proud to know him. abhaya FOUNDATION abhaya Mission Venkatesh - a story of Reprogramming of LIFE! It feels like yesterday when Venkatesh approached abhaya for help. And seeing his condition we decided to help him reprogram his life. It was one of the toughest challenges abhaya has ever undertaken. The challenges ranged from finding a steady and reliable source of income. Getting him financially independent and securing his future, apart fromproviding him minimum practical mobility. Parents, Vanita TV, Sri N. Kiran Kumar Reddy (CM-AP), Sri Bikshapathi (MLA), Sri Udayashankar, Endolite, Ishwar India (CSR-Endolite) together with abhaya and EJP Prasad... brought LIFE to Venkatesh At last, today exactly 15 months after Venkatesh got connected to abhaya, all our efforts of giving "A LIFE" to him, has born fruit. abhaya provided an auto for his livelihood through which he saved enough money for future exigencies apart from earning his daily bread. With a referral to Endolite India, he is getting 3 limbs, which would give him some mobility. abhaya efforts bore fruit when CM Relief Fund sanctioned Rs lakhs for his artificial limbs. Through Govt.of A.P. abhaya managed to get allotted a house for him under Rajiv Nivas Yojana Scheme, at Chandanagar, which is close to where he is living at present. He is expected to occupy the same shortly. This proves beyond doubt that, if we do things with a pure and noble intent to help the really needy ones in this world, there will always be a HAND OF GOD THAT UPLIFTS their lives. He, along with his parents, is EXTREMELY HAPPY ABOUT THE WHOLE THING and DO NOT FIND WORDS TO EXPRESS THEIR GRATITUDE to abhayafoundation and all those who supported him. -EJP Prasad, Coordinator, abhaya RPL Program.
