Tabitha Home - Exclusively for HIV and AIDS Orphans. Located at Raphei
Valley, Mantripukhri, Imphal, Manipur. Managed by Bro. Thanshok Kamkra and his
wife Tammi.
We take
this opportunity to share an update regarding the upcoming Health Camp and seek
your support to make it as fruitful and meaningful as possible.
WHAT - Tabitha Home is organizing its Annual Health Camp from October 1 to 3, 2012. The three-day event will target to provide awareness, free medical treatment, counseling, spiritual nourishment and create access and linkage for people living with HIV and AIDS (PLHIVs) to various health facilities. PLHIV from various districts of Manipur will be invited and this year the number is expected to increase. Already more than 200 people have requested to join the camp this year.
WHY - Despite numerous governmental and non-profit organizations operating in the state on HIV/AIDS issues, there are people who live in such remote places that they are virtually, completely cut-off from the rest. A good example would be the case of those who live in remote villages of the five hill districts of Manipur including Churachandpur, Tamenglong, Chandel, Senapati and Ukhrul. They constitute a rather large population but there is hardly a hospital or even a chemist nearby, depriving them of basic healthcare services and supplies. Poverty or at times lack of roadways add even more challenges.
Therefore, noticing the need to bring a solution to the problem or at least ease the burden, Tabitha Home organizes Medical - cum Salvation Camp for HIV infected and affected people annually. The main objective of this annual camp is to reach those who have been left out – who have not received medical or spiritual help.
HOW CAN YOU HELP - You can sponsor all or any of the following need-
* Travel: Rs 200 – 300/person
* Food: Rs 250/person per day (for six meals including arrival & departure day)
* Medicine: 200 and above
We also need various other helps apart from funds. The most basic and important is PRAYERS – lots and lots of them! We also need people who can create means to subsidize the charges of the requirements or even get them for free. The requirements include medicines, food, tent house supplies, PA system, etc. We also need volunteers to help organize and execute the camp smoothly.
May God bless us all to do what we can and should do!
