ROTARY CLUB OF POONA

DOWNTOWN

The LN-4 Prosthetic Hand Distribution Camp

Rotary Club of Poona Downtown

has been working for last 12 years

in service to the handicapped.

Wheel Chairs

Tricycles

Polio Corrective Surgeries

Prosthetic Feet, Hands

Walkers

Etc.

have been distributed to

more than 1300 needy persons so far.

This You tube video caught our

attention….

The project was

conceived.

The social welfare wing

of Zilla Parishad, Pune

joined hands with us.

Three LN-4

Distribution Camps

have taken place in

January 2014,

April 2014,

& March 2015.

We wish to continue

having such camps

whenever required.

Simple

And

Easy to fit!

This is how the hand is fitted.

Not merely a cosmetic one,

the LN-4 hand is very useful.

The

recipients

Are trained

to use

the

hand

The beneficiaries were of all age groups.

This one was the

youngest!

Such beaming

146 smiles

Some said they got a new life

Some

said

they are

extremely

happy

Some said God bless Rotary Clubs and Rotary families

Some prayed

the God to

allot a few

years

from

their life

to the

Rotarians to

serve

the society

more & more

And says his mother

“.....very much

thankful to members

of Rotary Club of

Poona Downtown

because they gave

our child new hand-

new life. This is a

miracle in our life”

The

Transformation

The

Best way

to cheer

yourself up

is to try to

cheer

someone

else up.

-Mark Twain
