NATIONAL OUTREACH

Unity is a crucial factor in the progress of any country. People come together and work towards a common goal to achieve great things. Diversity can be a source of strength, and it can also be a cause of division. Therefore, unity creates, is constructive and works towards a common goal.

Our inherent nature of holding things together is diversity. It is one of our greatest strengths. India is home to people from different religions, cultures, and languages. However, this diversity has also led to conflicts and divisions in the past. Therefore, unity should be adhered to and work towards a common good.

When people are united, they can overcome obstacles and achieve great things. For one, the freedom struggle without bloodshed and violence was successful because people from different parts of our country came together and worked towards achieving it. Similarly, our space program has achieved unique milestones because of the collective effort of its scientists and engineers.

Life is in balance and functions harmoniously as an indivisible whole. The interdependence of universal forces reveals the inseparable nature of our existence. The most wonderful of all experiences to behold is the unified creation.

ACWERK'S OUTREACH

The first and the most moving experience was caring diligently for the Leprosy disabled.

An endemicity that did not spare children and adults alike in several parts of Salem, Dharmapuri, Erode, Bhavani and bordering villages of Karnataka. Our first sixty files from the Government director's office were school children. In six years, fifteen thousand school children were screened six times and cured of ailments completely, including disabilities.

It was a concentrated effort by our team of fifteen health and paramedical workers that we achieved control from over 200 per 10000 to 8 per 10000 in six years. This effort is satisfying beyond words when you bring the Leprosy disabled into mainstream reality.

Then came the COVID pandemic in 2020.

For the first time, our reach extended to remote places with little accessibility.

We visited villages in Gharoh, Rakkar, Sidhbari, Dharamshala, Tosh, Barsheini in Himachal Pradesh, Faridabad in Haryana, Tening and Dimapur in Nagaland, Toribari, Siliguri and Shantiniketan in W. Bengal, Simplipal in Odisha, Nellore in Andhra Pradesh and Karumandurai in E. Salem, Tamilnadu.

It was carried out in a way where the grassroots were directly met and their concerns addressed to have maximum impact. Just the board of the organisation travelled the distance with volunteers employed from each of those villages and conducted outreach clinics and educational activities for a year during and after the global lockdown period.
