Wasn't this a simple matter of raising funds?? Wasn't this in my hands just a few minutes ago? All I had to do was exhort my classmates to cough up Rs. 100, but I hadn't had the courage to speak up!" Hence my praying felt hypocritical.<br />Thanks for the feedback Blahblaholic!Funny Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15416042841919164217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124775993260238813.post-20564117440241501672012-05-08T05:36:08.890+01:002012-05-08T05:36:08.890+01:00Thanks Mukesh!

Am elated to find an organization working on health matters and from what I can read of their business model, it's exactly as I had wanted. Amazing!<br />I will be volunteering with an NGO over the next few months, will definitely get in touch with Ms. Chandni Parekh.

I too have ...Hello dear, feel touched by your post. I too have gone through many such class-room cases that you described. very true that healthcare needs an overhaul in India. In many cases people die due to lack of fund.<br />As for your first suggestion- "A non-profit website should.....", such sites are already working. I had availed help of one such site, look here- http://www.chaintherapy.org/patient_details.php?pid=6 . For more such NGOs or sites, you may contact Chandni Parekh on twitter- https://twitter.com/#!/FundACause She has loads of information on such matters (NGOs, fund help etc.). You can also get in touch with her on mail- chandni.parekh@gmail.com .<br />NICE post, and Congrats for winning....Shantinath Chaudharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771807367833585430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124775993260238813.post-86816164689194474012012-04-16T13:07:04.928+01:002012-04-16T13:07:04.928+01:00Thank you for the feedback KayEm!

Not only do they know the laws of the country, their good reputation makes people trust them enough to donate. Otherwise, there'd be website scams all over the place. Another thing you could do is get together with other like minded people and come up with ideas as to how NGO donations could reach people like the person in your story.Khoty Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706537182743683089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124775993260238813.post-13951579492783624522012-03-27T23:05:57.576+01:002012-03-27T23:05:57.576+01:00Brought tears to my eyes, Yes i agree to every wor...Brought tears to my eyes, Yes i agree to every word u mentioned.Shilpi Duttahttp://shilpi3005.blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124775993260238813.post-20246012548683516462012-03-17T22:13:12.147+00:002012-03-17T22:13:12.147+00:00Well written!
