“Restoring Sight – Transforming Lives”.

Dr. Sybil [Salins] Meshramkar, the current Director of Velemegna, is the oldest child of its founders, Christy and Sushila Salins. With the support, guidance, efforts and prayers of three younger siblings – Swarthick, Serena and Sundeep – she has kept their parents’ work going and growing since 2003. In addition to directing all activities of Velemegna from her home within the Salins Eye Hospital, she is solely responsible for all hospital surgeries.

Navjeevan Children’s Home was established in 2008 by Dr. Sybil Salins. She came to know that the children were begging and not going to school; they were not getting proper nutrition and lived in un-healthy atmosphere. Then she felt so sad and realizing about her parent’s vision and future of the residents of leprosy people and children.

Then she decided to educate the children of leprosy patients with the aim to provide care, support and protection. These children

There are 41 children at present, all of whom go to school and live in a healthy environment.

This home has two care takers, one teacher 1 warden, 2 cooks and 1 driver. A doctor conducts health check-up for these children and we provide medicines. All the children are provided 3 time’s nutritious food, one set of books and 2 sets of uniforms and other casual clothes and under garments. Every child has the opportunity for indoor and out-door recreation and play facilities along with training in crafts and hobbies.

Ruth and I are very excited to go and see all the wonderful work that Dr Sybil and her team are doing out in Bidar.

We would like to bless them by raising as much money as we can for clothes for the children of Navjeevan Childrens Home.

So if you could spare a small amount of money that would be great !!
