Hi All,
Would like to start with a big "Thank You" note to all who responded with their contributions for Velu, given the very short notice. We feel in all ways this is THE BEST help we did although its not possible to compare various events. The reason we say best is because of the situation when we chipped in and also for the fact that the victim was (is) the sole bread earner for the entire family.
Yesterday (13-Aug-08), We met Velu & his family in the hospital and handed over the cash of Rs. 10,000 /-. He was a bit reluctant to take the amount given the fact that he takes a lot of pride in using his own money for his family. This guy, whom we have never seen crying even when he met with this accident or during the first operation where he was joking and cheering up others. But with the second fracture (Due to the unsuccessful operation ??) to his thigh he brokedown heavily and has not stopped crying for the past 3 days as he understood that he cant drive (Earn) atleast for the next six months which will be a huge blow to his family.He was also asking us about the time frame to repay the amount. We were sort of successful in making him convince him not to pay this money back and asked him to help someone with that amount through REVOLUTIONS. ( Yes, he too is a part of this REVOLUTIONS now) as and when he starts earning again.
He was very happy(to the fact that someone is helping him) to speak to some of our REVOLUTIONS members even though he never met them in person.
Will keep you all updated on his health as soon as I get to know them.

PS: We received an amount of 2700/- after we handed over the amount to Velu. So if there is some one who is in need of this money please let us know or as Aug.13 2007 was when we first paid the fee (sort of started officially) we are trying to speak to some orphanage so that we can arrange them food or clothes. Please let us know or leave a comment if there are any better ideas of using this money.
Thanks again.

Guys
nice 2 know dat u did a gr8 service.
Instead of giving money for fancy food/cloths, i request u to use that
money for giving Nutrient food (paushaka aaharam) to the orphas & poor old
ppl at old age homes.
coz since the prices of many Nutrient rich food grains is causing lots of
concers to the poorly funded orpahnages & old age home, i request u to use
the money that u collect next for atleast one months of Dietery of those
orpahans/ old people will hav nutirent rich food.
i wish u got me.
thanks a ton
