The members of the RCCK met on Friday to decide the way forward. Rtn Hari Ratan made a presentation on the reielf work done till now and the special invitees Mrs Andal Damodaran of ICCW (Indian Council for Child Welfare) and the Alumni of BITS Pilani spoke.
Mrs Damodaran after her visit to Andamans and other Tsunami affected areas said hat while orphans were being taken care of by the Govt and there were many NGOs wanting to take care of the orphans children with single parents were finding it difficult. While schools had reopened, the attendance was very thin becuase the children had no books, stationery and therefore were not going back to school. ICCW had put together back to school kits and distributing them in affected areas.
The alumni of BITS said that they were wanting to adopt a coomunity of about 25 families and were wanting to tie up with RCCK.
Hari Ratan informed the Club that Chip Ross and Art McCullough have pledged USD 1000 from their Clubs towards the purchase and distribution of toys to the children.
