Nagaralu Sewing project, Guntur.

Hai,

I recently visited one of our sewing projects in Guntur which is in the area called Nagaralu.

It is the recent sewing project we started. Started in Aug-2011 with Vasantha as the instructor.
She finished her first batch of tailoring students.

Here are the pics of second batch of students .

Started basics from April-12 onwards.

 The instructor Vasantha is a full time teacher so she is available all the time and ready to help the women as far as possible.











Majority women who joined the course are married. Few are housewives and rest daily workers.

All the women are from the same area.

The last batch women who finished their sewing class are ready to start their work. Coming months we will get to know the progress in their work and how far they could be able to help themselves.

Our very first sewing project started in 2000 August with Nirmala as the tailoring  instructor mainly and with few basics in embroidery.

From 1st of April-11 we started full time embroidery and painting classes to the students along with stitching with Kamala as the teacher.

Pics of students already started the basic classes in painting.

These students started their tailoring class in Nov-11 and they will finish their course in Oct-12. If they start the painting and embroidery class now they will finish this course too along with tailoring.

Pics from our Shoshana Medical Centre, Railway area - Chirala.

Temparatures all over the state are getting higher day by day. It is getting hard even to get out of the house but for people especially who live on the roads it is much terrible. One such areas is the railway area, Chirala where people mainly live on the road under some shade from the trees.

  

Our place Chirala is close to the sea so we have high humidity in the air and with hot weather ,the condition of old people and children is unbearable.

  

They can't stay inside their houses because it is too sultry without any air and outside it is too hot. Most of the children who are coming to our medical project, railway area presently are from dehydration and fever.

  

  

The people of this are very poor and far behind compared to the common people. They have no proper living conditions. Some people from Chirala provided a room for this area which they are using as a multi purpose hall in which Shoshana is providing medical help with a regular nurse.

  

  

  

Dr.Berny from Germany who is a donor of Shoshana visited this place and was very surprised to see the living conditions of this people and he got to know the kind of help we are providing for these people.

In this season if there is any emergency, then these people may need infusions and more medication related to fever and diarrhea.

Visit to Shoshana medical project, Swarna

  

Pics from my recent visit to Shoshana medical centre at Swarna village.


This is our recently started medical project. Villagers are quite happy with it especially the old people.

  

All types of people are utilizing the services. There is no age bar. In some of the projects where there is a female nurse we could see men little bit hesistant to see the nurse where as here there is no such situation.

  

The nurse, Prasanna is from this village so the people are familiar with her.

  

People in this area are agricultural labourers.Harvesting time for the paddy crop and people are quite busy with selling process. Old people and children who are at home are taking the medical help in the afternoon and the nurse said she get more patients in the evening time when the people come back from work.

  

  

hello friends,

I am very sad to inform you all that our dearest friend Bob, Martha's husband passed away yesterday. May his soul rest in peace.

My visit to Bapatla Sewing Project along with Dr.Berny.

Shoshana Sewing centre, Bapatla is the nearest sewing centre we have from Chirala town. Manjula rani the tailoring instructor invited us to see her students working and showed us the products they were making for sale.

Manjula rani recently completed her 10 years of working experience with Shoshana. She has good experience of teaching at different places from Khammam to Vijayawada and then to Bapatla. So far in this 10 years she helped more than 90 women for their self help.

Manjula explained the different types of painting and embroidery patterns and also the products the students were making for sale.

Dr.Berny shared a good interaction with the students and manjula's family regarding their working experience and their future goals to achieve.

Dr.Berny's visit to Epurupalem medical project
