RCCK with the MG of Edmonton, Mayfield distributes Mobility Aids under the Helping Hands program 

 It was a satisfying program on the 29th of September 2012. 20 tricycles were ready for distribution at the Thiru Vi Ka School, Chennai and about 11 beneficiaries had come for the event to collect the same. They had come from far off places to collect their tricycles with great difficulty.It was indeed very heartening to see them on the cycles with a big smile of happiness and lots of hope that this mobility aid would help them  to move forward in their lives. The balance of tricycles will be given 1st week of October. It is a very proud moment for RCCK with the help of MG with Edmonton Mayfield to be part of such a project. Rtn Raveendran, Rtn Vasanthi Ananth, Rtn Bipin Bhatia, Rtn Sanjay Agarwal were there to see the difference the tricycles made to the recipients.
