Helping Hands - caliper Camp at Madurai

The Camp at Madurai was conducted between 21st and 28th of Feb 2010. We were able to distribute 110 calipers to polio affected, the calipers were made by Mukti at the camp site. This project was conducted with support from TRF through a MG with RC of London. Every camp that is conducted results in so many disabled getting a new lease of life which come with mobility and confidence. We hope we will be able to conduct more camps without any break.

Vocational Service project - TVK School

We have been working together with the Thiru Vi Ka School to provide vocational training to school drop outs, the courses offered are:

• welder
• turner
• electrician
• plumber and
• carpenter

The next batch will commence on 1st July 2010. Till date the RCCK has handed over more than completion certificates to over 300 dropouts and with a 100% success rate on employment. The certification programme is approved by the Ministry of labour and employment thereby assuring a bright future for those who take the exams. This project is aided by the TRF through a Matching Grant with RC of Medford Rogue, Oregon. Rtn Tim johnson played an active part in this project and it is hoped that we will get sufficient funding over the next few years to ensure the programme's continuity.
