ROTARY BAL VATSALYA KENDRA Our club has started a Bal Vatsalya Kendra in Amreli.

Basically its a child development & educational training center for rural & slum area children. This project is started after a motivational visit of Happy School of RC Rajkot Greater and Dhinka Chika project by Surat during Pravas - Car Rally organized

by RID 3060. We identified slum areas in the city and surveyed for the childrens in this areas. We approached many institutions for a hand of help and luckily SBI – RSETI has agreed to help us and provided us the place in their institute. We arraigned a care taker for this childrens and started this center on 22nd of Feb 2021. We are glad to see that on the very 1st day of this center, nearly 35 childrens were present and this figure is now increasing day by day.

As of now there are 109 childrens coming to this center. Care taker trains these childrens on how to Brush teeth, taking Bath, Combing their Hair & Dressing, etc. Club member Rtn.

While in this Miyawaki Forest method approx. 350 trees can be planted in 100 Sq. Mtr. area besides approx. 80-100 trees by traditional method thus helping Rotarys new area of

focus Environment. Among this, the plantation will be self sustainable after a period of 12 to 18 months where its takes a lot of efforts, precious care and time consuming in other methods.

better place to live for birds.

The total amount of these equipment's was around 1.50 Lakhs INR. Fortunately in a very short period of time our Donors agreed to give a handsome amount for this project. Club members fulfilled the remaining part of the amount and the project we started. The whole project is managed by club member Rtn. Trilok Bhatt and all the equipment's are kept at Deaf & Dumb School – Amreli.

The patient / beneficiary are asked to pay a deposit amount depending on the equipment needed & on the returning the equipment the deposit amount is refunded to the beneficiary.
