You just need a heart to help!

In today’s materialistic world, when most people say “I would just love to donate if only my salary was a little higher”, “I will start supporting this cause when I get a promotion”, Mr. S. Arunachalam proved that to help, to donate, you just need a large and kind heart.

The Sankara Nethralaya Rural Mobile Tele-ophthalmology unit visited Keezh Pennathur, a small village in Tiruvannamalai district north of Chennai. As usual the team went about their work in screening the people and arranging for tele-consultations for those patients who required it. Watching the activities of the team was Mr. Arunachalam who had come to the camp. He underwent examination and tele-consultation. While leaving, he praised the activities of the team and gave a donation of Rs.200 from his pension. He said that he felt it was his duty to give what he could for a good cause and therefore came forward to donate a part of his pension.

We salute Mr. Arunachalam who has proved that to give all that one needs is a heart!
