The Camp at Ganjdundwara

There are times when things dont go as planned. There are anxieties. Even as an organisation it feels how small we are and how difficult is the task ahead.

It was a tale of long journeys, unceratin moments, new friends joining the movement and another determined step in community service.

Shahid, Arif and Anuj started from Delhi in the evening of 3rd December to reach Etah at 2 in the morning. Dharmendra and Sudhir boarded the Kaifiyat Express from Lucknow and then took a UP Roadways bus from Aligarh to reach Etah early morning. All of us know how painful it is travelling in UPSRTC buses particularly on the GT Road that connects Delhi to Kanpur. We dont know where the road is and yet we travel and reach destinations.

Mohit along with Captain Joshi started early morning from Noida and so did Gyan Prakash Bhardwaj along with Arun Pathak. It was good to meet Gyan after so many years. Many of us were meeting him after 1986 when we parted from Sainik School Lucknow. Captain Joshi spent the whole day at the camp and gave company to Mohit. Trade Tax was in full strength after the arrival of M.Y.Ansari a fellow Aligarian.

Other Aligarians who joined on Arif's request included Tahir Ali Baig, Nadeem Bhai Chairman Nagarpalika Shamsabad, Mohammad Khalid, Javed Bhai, Qamar Bhai, Furqan Bhai, Javed Bhai from Ganjdundwara apart from our own Sajid Bhai with out whom not a thing moves.

When the camp began it was all smooth. Sajan reached and set his dispensary. The Ram Murti Trust Team reached in time. Poornesh with Bhaskar was there in time too. People came in large numbers particularly women who do not have access to medical facilities. At the end of the day we had a registration of 2000 patients.

Encouragement through words and presence came from Shri Pramod Sharma, Haji Kifayat Ali, Janab Farooq Qureshi, Umesh Aryaji and Dr.Rajeev Gupta.

हमारी गति ठीक है और दिशा भी किन्तु संसाधनों की कमी अब महसूस होने लगी है. लोगों की अपेक्षाएं बहुत हैं और इस उत्तरदायित्व का एहसास भी है हमें लेकिन सामर्थ्य और सीमा में ही तो काम होगा. विश्वास है चीज़ें बदलेंगी और यही विश्वास हमारी पूंजी है जिसके सहारे हम बढ़ते जा रहे हैं.

अगले सफर तक खुदा हाफिज़.
