Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
I am very passionate about raising funds for this charity.
My uncle, Dr Manjit Singh Bhogal, set up SikhAid International in 2004. It was his lifelong ambition to set up a charity that would make a difference.
The aims of this charity are;
- to serve humanity by offering assistace to victims of disaster
- to reach out to remote communities, particularly those with no medical care
- to ensure that 100% of all donatiions are spent on patient care
My uncle sadly passed away from a brain tumour in May 2010. He had already planned his annual eye camp which was to take place in October of this year. Myself and 12 others are going to be attending the Camps this year to continue with his work and to help fulfill his dream.
This year SikhAid International will also be holding its first ever Dental camp. Here volunteer Dentists will be carrying out mouth cancer screening on the patients, which if detected early, can be life saving as well as relieving people from dental pain.
*To date, SikhAid has held 5 Camps, screening over 4500 patients for eye and general health and successfully operated on 1350 people who had no means to pay for eye surgery.
*It costs just £15 to give sight to one person with preventable surgery
*Sponsorship of one eye camp costs just £3500.
So please dig deep and donate now.
