Medical Check-up Camp – One Step towards “Healthy” Living
It has been rightly said by Buddha “Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship”
So, this Sunday Umang Foundation’s young team decided to give the residents of Vidyavihar a gift of Good health with the faithful medical assistance by medical professionals including doctors from JJ hospital. The objective of the camp was not only to conduct check ups but also to inform and educate the participants on first aid, eating habits, precautionary measures, ill effects of narcotics etc.
It all began on a bright Sunday morning with setting up counters and medicines to help the residents easily understand the process of health check-up. There were counters for:
• Registration
• Height and Weight Measurement
• Blood Pressure
• Blood Sugar Level
• Physical examination
A team of 12 responsible doctors were made available to the residents and they were seen giving personal attention to each of the participant’s habits and symptoms. Venue for the camp being Rotary Club’s Nana-Nani park, Rotary Club members also were seen strongly supporting the young energetic Team Umang. A word about this medical camp was already spread, through local newspapers and pamphlets.
As the day moved further, people from nearby localities started pouring in huge numbers. People with different age-groups, were seen waiting for their turn at the registration desk. Around 200 residents completed their check-ups in mere two and half hours of the event. Some of the patients who were suffering from common ailments were given free medicines by the team.
Post-Lunch period was no different either; people kept flooding in for check-up which was a good sign of awareness created by the Umang team. Before the day ended, 350 residents successfully completed their check-ups and a few had been referred to Specialist Doctors for further treatment.
All the helpful and generous doctors were given a Certificate of Appreciation for supporting the Umang team in such a noble cause. These Doctors were more than happy and eager to give their support in many such events to be held in near future. Rotary Club members were also thanked gratefully by the Umang team, as without them the event would not have become a hit among the residents.
Precaution is always better than cure and such check-up camps do help the common man to understand his body structure and take precautionary measures as per his eating habits. If every youth of India takes a simple step towards creating a healthy atmosphere around his place then surely medicines and diseases would be just a part of history.
Umang Foundation and its team have planned similar check-up camps in every month to build up a habit of healthy living among all.
Total Patients: 350
Blood Sugar Test for: 135 Patients

New Year Celebration
New Year... New 'Umang’…
Creating UMANG (as always) in an Orphanage was the main motive of UMANG members on this New Year. The destination was 'SHARNAM' - A Shelter for Girls in Matunga.Though the 'FUN’ day started post-lunch, but the enthusiasm and zeal of girls in Orphanage was appreciable.
It all began with a 'Magic Show' organized for the girls of age-group (6-14 yrs). All Girls were seen engrossed in watching the tricks of magic and enjoying the wonderful act by Magician 'Mr Sooraj.
'Housie' Game was next on the cards for the Girls. A spark of Winning Attitude was observed in practically every little girl in the room. Four early bird prizes were distributed to the winners by the Umang members.
A quiz show was then planned for the girls by Umang member ‘Gaurav Gujare’. He proactively had involved all the girls in the room in his easy but tricky questions. Prizes were distributed on every correct answer to motivate these girls. It was observed that all the girls were so sharp in memory that they remembered each and every Umang member's name even if they spoke to him/her just once.
New Year Celebration without Dance and music always sounds incomplete. So, to make the atmosphere more lively, some girls presented a beautiful group dance on a devotional song. These girls had a dream to perform on a bigger platform at a popular dance show Dance India Dance. Audiences (Umang Members) were spell bound by their talent and performance. Their talent then motivated all the other girls and Umang members to have a dance session on their favorite songs.Umang members also got an opportunity to learn few steps by these young girls.
One of the Umang member ‘Abhilasha Kale’ rightly commented, "This is the first time young children are creating UMANG among all so much that Umang Foundation in real sense served its purpose of organizing this event."
We can truly call them an IT generation since many of them are present on Facebook. And they took e-mail ids from Umang Members. These kids are well versed with what happening in the world. They enjoy study as well as other activities like sports and dance.

Umang Foundation had contributed and raised funds to distribute some gifts for all the girls of the shelter. Girls were thankful to the Team Umang for having bags, personal pouches, table books, sketch pens, cookies and chocolates with added love and care for them. Team Umang have also contributed for yearly soaps and toothpastes of these kids.
The caretaker and founder of ‘SHARNAM’ appreciated the young Team Umang by presenting them a small memorable gift. Good wishes for the Team Umang were just an implicit thing to mention about.
This was Umang’s 129th activity. Umang members had thus started their New Year on a very good note.
Kudos to UMANG Foundation!!

Ashish Goyal, founder of an NGO, Umang Foundation:
Christmas celebration is the opportunity for our NGO to spread joy and happiness among less-fortunate children. This year, we are planning to visit different shelter homes and day-care centers and celebrate the festival with their inmates, decked up as Santa Claus.
We also intend to conduct drawing, fancy dress, singing and dancing competitions, outdoor games to encourage such children to showcase their hidden talents. A magic show and a fun-fair are also on the cards. Each child would be given an individual gift.

Health Checkup Camp
Health Check up Camp: Amrapali Society, Mhada Building, Next to Kanjurmarg West Station
During all Umang Members meeting in the month of November 2009, we come up with a thought to organize a Health Check up camp with a focus to serve under privilege section of society and responsibilities were given to Subhradeep Bhatacharya and Ajay Pardeshi. They have identified a location near Kanjurmarg Station in Mhada Building number 8 and the date was decided as Sunday Dec 20, 2009.
Subhradeep Bhatacharya, Ajay Pardeshi and Ashish Goyal were the ‘Umang Champion’ for this activity and responsible for all arrangements. Team Umang had a group of 16 volunteers for this camp: Sandeep Bhanushali, R S Goyal, Vishal Shanbhag, Manish Nair, Kirti Masurkar, Renuka Bhavake, Rahul Gupta, Anup Palod, Shilpa Palod, Sunita, Kiran, Chetan Karkhanis, Ruchir Aswal,
Health Checkup Camp was led by Dr Deepak Patil with whom we had a team of 6 doctors along with a team of 5 doctors from J J Hospital and 4 technicians.
This health check up camp was focused towards basic problems faced by individuals who mostly got ignored in the day to day busy schedule. We have organized a series of medical examinations for all the patients:-
1. Height & Weight Measurement
2. Peak Flow Test (PFT)
3. Hemoglobin Test
4. Blood Pressure Examination
5. Blood Sugar Examination
6. Basic Medicines for all
7. Doctors have examined every patient’s individually
Impressions:
Meticulous - In one word, that is how the Umang Champion(s) for the event had planned the details. Every last detail medicines, instruments, first aid, everything was duly prepared and made available before time. Doctors were convinced to leave aside their much desired rest day and spend the whole day treating patients; perhaps more patients than they would treat on an average sitting in their clinic.
Efficient - A total of 345 patients with just 11 doctors and 4 medical assistants, that's an average of more than 30 patients per doctor and in just a span of 4 hours. Numbers speak volumes of the efficient manner in which every patient was covered. Not to mention of course, that each patient did get the due attention and care needed.
Order in chaos - As the day progressed, patients started pouring in and quickly too. Considering that it was a camp and not a regular hospital, it could soon turn out to be quite chaotic. The Umang Champion(s) expertly organized the whole flow in a manner so that the queues were short and all patients were attended to without to much waiting time.
Enthusiastic - That's how we would describe the Umang team and the doctors who helped make the camp a success. Of course, the one adjective does not do justice to the amount of hard work and tireless efforts that were put in by all the doctors and volunteers.
Spread the good word - With more of these free medical camps, NGOs like Umang are providing leadership in a sector where the State's efforts are still leave much desired. If only more of us would leave the comfort of our Sofa on those odd weekends, then more of such camps can be organized and the concept of free and affordable health care for all would not be a distant dream but a visible reality. So, it’s time to spread the good word and encourage more people to get involved and lend their hand.
