A FREE HEARING AID DISTRIBUTION CAMP for PWDs was held at the Dr Gail & Mrs. Ditosa Memorial Medical Clinic @ Street Providence Goa, Sangolda, organized by Rotary Club of Panaji Riviera on 18th June, 2022, between 3 to 5 pm.
This camp is the first such project at the Medical centre and part of a soft launch to test our capabilities and the prevailing infrastructure in organizing many more such FREE camps.
Attached a 2 mim video of the camp. 👇
Field officers, volunteering at our NGO, identified 25 such deserving and poor PwDs across rural Goa , in need of the Hearing Aids.
Free transport was provided to the PwDs to reach the camp location. We are glad to have partnered with Rotary Club in organizing this camp.
On the morning of 18th June, 2022, Rotary Club of Margao , organized a Hearing Aid Camp at Fatorda.
Field Officers of STREET PROVIDENCE brought 9 such deserving poor PwDs including 3 suffering from HIV .
Each one was given FREE hearing aids after being thoroughly checked by the Audiologist.
During the afternoon camp at Sangolda, our NGO brought 16 such PwDs with hearing disabilities and after a thorough examination FREE hearing aids were given to each of the beneficiaries including one suffering from HIV.
In North Goa Free transport was provided to & fro from Mapusa & Panjim to all those who attended this camp at Sangolda

who worked behind the scenes to ensure that both camps were successful in assisting needy beneficiaries.
During the monsoons it is rather difficult to get PwDs from remote places like Quepem, Vasco , Salcette , Bicholim, Pernem to attend such camps.
I am elated to state that both camps in North and South Goa were a success.
God Bless each and everyone who helped make this happen!
God bless you
