After successful medical camps in Nathipora, Zurimanz and Kulhama, the next medical camp was held at Lankreshi-pora. This village was badly hit with recent floods in kashmir. When our team entered primary school (were we had planned to conduct the medical camp), we saw that the school building was badly damaged and the children were sitting on ground – The classrooms without roofs.

As we interacted with locals and the staff of school, there were lots of horrifying stories to hear. We started distributing medicines and supplements. Another adjoining school kids also came, We distributed health supplements and all essential medicines to everyone who was in need, This was the first medical camp held after floods in this village.

We were amazed to see the discipline amongst the kids. They were quite thrilled to receive the health supplements. Some of them were addressing Amma as Amrita after seeing Amma’s picture on the banner. Some of them started writing on their boards “Amrita Thank You” and “Thank You Amrita Institute”. We had quite a many touching moments on this medical camp. Adults from the village told us about their plight but they expressed happiness that at least some one has come to care for them thankfulness towards Amma and AIMS for conducting the medical camp.
