The foundation organizes a major medical camp every year in January in the village Bidada, Kutch, Gujarat, India. We invite our supporters to be a part of this incredible healing experience. We encourage non-medical volunteers (young and old) as well as medical students, residents and physicians to participate in the camp. Lending a helping hand to less fortunate, needy people will bring a sense of fulfillment and inner satisfaction unlike any other.
Volunteers are responsible for travel arrangements to Mumbai, however the foundation assists it’s volunteers with travel and lodging arrangements from Mumbai to Bidada.
