Story of the Week

ज्यांची बाग फुलून आली, त्यांनी दोन फुले द्यावीत|

ज्यांचे सूर जुळून आले, त्यांनी दोन गाणी द्यावीत||

आभाळाएवढी ज्यांची उंची, त्यांनी थोडे खाली यावे|

मातीत ज्यांचे जन्म मळले, त्यांना थोडे उचलून घ्यावे||

This famous Marathi Poem by Datta Halasgikar truly defines the spirit of Volunteerism!

We wish this indubitable spirit of service spreads everywhere and more volunteers join hands to make a difference!

SPMESM is honouring the spirit of Volunteerism with a special Award from this this year- “Dr Sneha Veling Best Volunteer Award”

Late Dr Sneha was an extraordinary volunteer at Pune and the cash award is offered by Veling and Khambete families in her memory.

On 7th June, Ms Seema Rahalkar received the first Dr Sneha Veling Best Volunteer Award. Ms Seema is a noted child education activist and has been a driving force in providing the unique and effective Panchkosh Based Primary Education to hundreds of kids with us.

The event had inspiring addresses by Ms Satyaprabha Ashtaputre, who’s been serving the girl students from the NE states; Mr K D Shardul, entrepreneur and supporter to social projects and Mr Shirish Kulkarni- our VP; who also is a voluntary social worker.

Volunteers are special. May their tribe increase…!

Story of the Week

′′ From severe water shortage to having enough water for 3 sowing seasons "

जालना जिल्ह्यातील कुंभारी गावच्या सुभाषराव बखलेंची विहीर व बोअरवेल जानेवारीतच कोरडे पडायच्या. पाणी उपलब्ध नव्हतं. गेल्या वर्षी सावित्रीबाई फुले मंडळ आणि प्राज फाऊंडेशनने राबवलेल्या जल अभियानात सुभाषरावांच्या शेतानजिकच्या तलावातील गाळ काढला; प्लॅस्टिक लायनिंगसह कट-आ‌ॅफ ट्रेंच करून गळती थांबवली. परिणामी त्या तळ्याद्वारे भूजलस्तर वाढला. सुभाषरावांचा बोअरवेल भरभरून वाहत होता आणि त्यांच्या विहिरीला जानेवारीनंतरही पिकांना पुरेल इतकं पाणी आहे. या पाण्याच्या भरवशावर सुभाषरावांनी यंदा गव्हाचे पीक घेतलंय, कांदा लावलाय आणि फळबाग देखील वाढवलीय!

I’ve been blowing the instrument since my childhood. Day by day, it is becoming difficult even to breath freely for me as this might have weakened my lungs. Many a times, thought of seeking a doctor’s advice but my (poor economic) condition prevented me. We never thought, someone would notice our issues and care for us! Can’t express enough of my gratitude toward these (NSDL- GLSAK Project) people! Will try to live a healthy life as per their suggestions.” A Brass-band Troup Player shared his experience after the camp with tearful eyes!

Over years, our project head Dr. Diwakar Kulkarni has observed that many of the Brass-Band Troup Members have grave lung diseases; mainly due to excessive stress on their lungs because of their continous blowing of the music instruments, poor lifestyle and addictions. This year, he assigned the task to find out these distressed brass-band troup workers to the project team and have a comprehensive health camp for their major issues, which would otherwise remain unaddressed forever.
After Consultation, it was observed that 25 of them were living undiagnosed with serious life threatening conditions arising from their occupation. They were provided necessary treatment, special Counseling Sessions to avoid the health hazards in their occupation as well as De-addiction advasaries.

The newly wed couples Shilpa & Vishal Pagare and Neha & Nirvan Adhav were quite overwhelmed with the welcome they had at the Newly- Wed Couples’ felicitation program by Tejaswini. Family education and counseling is one of the objectives of Tejaswini.
“I’m really surprised and happy that Tejaswini is felicitating us! Not only that, it is providing very vital information on family health, relationship and life skills. I’m really grateful!” shared Nirvan, a participant. Shilpa, another participant added, “There is no other parallel system, especially for the bride to learn about these things. Thanks Tejaswini!”

Till now the rainfall is 320 mm, but the Mati Nala Bandh and doh are full. The groundwater level has increased and the wells are full of water first time since last 7 years.

But when Praj Jal Abhiyan started at his village, he wholeheartedly committed himself as a full time volunteer to the work!

He also monitored the work voluntarily during the night shifts.
Seeing his enthusiastic participation, the villagers have chosen him as the president of the village watershed committee. “I was fighting for my motherland when in Army. The same with this work. This is also a noble service to my motherland! My only wish is to see our water structires overflowing this monsoon!” he expressed his feelings in one of the project meetings.
