Adrith Foundation launched its first project with an awareness program on eye, blood and organ donation. The event was presided over Mrs. Padmaja, Cofounder and Director- Operations, Adrith. Other key attendees from Adrith were Mrs.Sharmila, founder and Mr.Ganesh, PR & Media.
Mrs.Sharmila, introduced the speaker and spoke about Adrith’s vision and mission to spread its activities across geographies. Mr.Krishna a noted speaker and campaigner on eye donation introduced audience to various aspects of eye, blood and organ donation. Interspersed with humour and interesting anecdotes from his personal life, he underlined the importance of donating eyes, blood and organs. He quoted that as per statistics, Statistics show that there are 15 million blind people in India and out of this, 6.8 million people are suffering from corneal blindness. A pair of eyes can light up many lives and it brings a great sense of fulfillment.
Mr.Krishna stated that eye donation is purely voluntary and also dispelled myths surrounding eye, blood and organ donation. Mr.Bhupendra who had donated blood 200+ times was the highlight of the awareness program and was truly inspirational. Mr. Krishna called upon the participants to pledge to donate eyes and blood.
Adrith Foundation received a request for financial support for a pediatric heart surgery to be conducted at Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology for a 5 year old girl Latha *(name changed). We supported this surgery by making a contribution of Rs.35000.
The sheer joy of bringing the smile back for the parents and healthy heart for the child which will grow up to an artist or a sportsperson or a scientist is very satisfying for the team at Adrith.We wish to support more of such causes.
*The name of the child has been changed for the purpose of confidentiality
