Penning down my thoughts: Harihara Mahadevan

Editorial of November 2009

Dear Well Wishers,

Much delighted to be among you through this tenth issue of Shantham. Hope you are enjoying the contents. There are very good responses for the magazine, from various circles , even though the readers are not sending the same through the feedback column.

We got a request from a poor family, for helping a mentally retarded boy, studying in Andhra Mahila Sabha ,Adayar The monthly hostel expenses come to around Rs 1250 ( Rupees one thousand two hundred and fifty only) and the trust has agreed for the sponsorship of that expenses on a permanent basis. I thank Mr.Kumar, from Dubai( my first son-in-law) for his whole-heartedness for the sponsorship.

One more help, we have done during this month,was the donation of Rs 30000 (Rupees thirty thousands only) for a poor boy who lost his left eye during Diwali with a cracker and who had to undergo a major surgery at Trichi St. Joseph Eye Hospital. I sincerely thank all those who have contributed for the noble cause in response to our appeal, the more so, Mr. Krishnasubramanian of Mumbai and his family who alone contributed Rs 20000. Dr. Selvaraj from Madurai, our well wisher arranged for referring the boy for free treatment at Sankar Netralaya, Chennai, through Mr.Subburaj, Secretary, Ministry of Health, Tamil Nadu Government. They also confirmed on the loss of vision and stated nothing can be done for the restoration of vision. Artificial eye has to be implanted soon, for which we are making arrangements. We profusely thank all for the generous contribution.

Mr. Chandramoulee my second son-in-law has agreed to contribute Rs 1000 (one thousand only) every month for the trust and I thank him for the same.

We have donated one PC for a needy student pursuing engineering education in Chennai (donated by the undersigned). We have also donated Rs 5000 (Rupees Five thousands only) for a student for the part of the tuition fees for her MBA studies.

We wish to help for many more needy, for which we solicit the help of well wishers like you.

Many have expressed their good wishes for the magazine and agreed to contribute the articles for Shantham.

Wish you a blissful reading.
