Some were accompanied by their parents who were exited on getting the chance to finally get their children checked up.

At 11a.m. sharp the doctors from Anjuman-i-Islam’s M.I.J. Tibbia Unani Medical College & Haji A.R. Kalsekar Tibbia Hospital arrived (2 per camp) and started the check up. The children made queues and patiently waited their turn. The height and weight measurements were taken by our team members and a small gift was given to the children. Each camp lasted for nearly 5 hours and a huge total of nearly 120 children attended the camp. The camp ended with a feeling of accomplishment that was unprecedented for all of us.

The doctors also held a small workshop for the parents to educate them on the basic sanitation requirement for the children. The children and their parents went back with knowledge and recommendations for enriching their lives forever.

The GIDF School in the heart of the slum stands as an oasis in the desert for the innocent kids. It fosters self confidence and a means to a life of dignity by teaching them basics and providing them a sense of normalcy in their chaotic lives.
