Dear Friend,
At a time of unprecedented global crisis when COVID 19 is ravaging through some of the best health-care systems around the world, as a densely populated, developing nation India is looking at a looming crisis of unimaginable magnitude in its poorly resourced health-care sector. Now is the time for us to stand with our health-care workers supporting them with critical medical equipment to save lives. Rotary Belur in partnership with Rotary Singapore is organizing a fundraiser (Project name: Karuna #GG2012686) to procure critical medical supplies PPE, masks, face shields and ventilators to donate to the nodal government hospitals of West Bengal (like Beleghata ID, MR Bangur Hospital to name a few).
Rotary is a Non Profit Organization of business and professional persons united worldwide having presence in over 200 countries to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Rotary Club of Belur was established in the year 1967 and have been continuously engaged in service activities like, Child Heart Surgery, Cataract Operations, Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery, Water and Sanitary Hygiene in Schools besides other social community projects.
In this war against COVID 19, our frontline medical staff are our soldiers. Protecting them is pivotal to preventing collapse of our public health system. At the same time, for COVID 19 patients, running out of ventilators can literally mean running out of time. West Bengal state has only a minuscule fraction of ventilators compared to its peak projected need. We are racing against time. We initially aim to supply 5300 PPE kits and masks at this hour of crisis to enable our frontline medical professionals (doctors and nurses) to fight the war against this deadly virus. In the next phase of the project, with your kindness, we plan to procure as many ventilators as our fund permits to save lives from the clutches of the dreaded disease.
In order to meet this objective, we are earnestly seeking your support. Your donation can make the difference between life and death for countless people. Even the smallest acts of your kindness can make a huge impact on many lives.
