1. EKAM – ONENESS- Annual Report 2009-2010
COMMUNITY PEDIATRIC HEALTH PROJECT
A Public-Private Partnership model
“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear,
an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to
turn a life around.” – Leo Buscaglia
Master Vaibhav Krishna celebrated his first birthday on 25th November. It was difficult
to imagine that Master Vaibhav Krishna would when he was admitted to the Intensive
Care Unit. He has had to go through a very traumatic ordeal in his new born period. He
was hospitalized and had to be on ventilator support for almost 15 days. Vaibhav
survived this ordeal.
He recovered fully and was discharged to get back home. He has donated a cheque to
Ekam to support another child who cannot afford treatment in ICU.
Parents were referred to us by the pediatrician Dr.Subramanyam who took care of Master
Vaibhav in the newborn period.
A great moment for Ekam! We wish him a long, healthy and happy life!
When master Mukesh was admitted to the hospital, his father could not afford the
medical expenses as he did not have a job at that time.
Mukesh’s Father is now not just employed and earning himself but is also raising funds
to support other children who cannot afford treatment in ICU.
It is a great feeling of oneness!
Ekam is basically working for the healthcare of underprevileged children in Chennai,
Thiruvallur,Kancheepuram,Virudhunagar & Madurai districts in TamilNadu, India by
working with Orphanages,Slums, ICDS centres & Corporation, Government &
Government aided schools and Government hospitals through EKAM -ONENESS
