On 21^st August 2017, we loMOHAN Foundation's team went to Gill Adarsh Matriculation Higher Secondary School to conduct the final session of the ‘Angles of Change’ program. Dr. Hemal Kanvinde and Mr. Jayaprakash Daniel represented MOHAN Foundation in this session.  19 students and one teacher were part of the session.

The team began the session at 1:30pm, Dr. Hemal Kanvinde  began  by a small recap of previous session which boosted the ‘Angels’ to proceed to the next level of training. After the revision Dr. Hemal Kanvinde directed the participants to write a ‘Thank you Letter’ as though a recipient is writing to her/his donor. This activity provoked the students’ interest on how a recipient will feel after getting a new life through organ transplantation.  

A film explaining brain death was played for the students. Two students read the “Life pass it on” poem and the students were asked to write a short poem on organ donation and suggestions were given in order to improve their creative writing skills.

Two poems for your reading

நாம் வாழும்போது, உணர்ந்த சுகங்களை கொடுத்தது யார் ?

நாம் இறந்த பின்பு சுகங்களை காணப்போகிறோமா? 

ஆம் , நாம் இறந்த  பின்பும் சுகங்களை காணப்போகிறோம் ! 

அதுவே   உடல் உறுப்பு தானம்!!!!

-    R. Nithyashree, IX B Gill Adarsh Vidyalaya

‘While dandelions are spreading their seeds to all places

Like that man should share his organ when another man is in need’

-      Kanala Adithya, IX C Gill Adarsh Vidyalaya

Mr. Jayaprakash explained the feedback form and students gave their feedback about the training. This was followed by planning session for National Organ Donation Day in which Dr. Hemal gave some ideas to the team members such a conducting rally, mass campaign etc. Ms. C. R. Jayalakshmi, teacher of the school took charge for future programs on Organ Donation.

MOHAN Foundation extends sincere thanks to the Principal and the management for supporting this volunteer training effort.  We look forward to working with you in the near future.
