Some words from volunteers - Dec 2010

”As long as I am capable to do something for the NorthSouth you may rest assured that I will do my best for the downtrodden brothers and sisters of our community. I am now 81. I do not know how long I can be helpful to others” Anil Kumar Ghosh, Emeritus Coordinator

“We have among us few dedicated Uditans working for North South Foundation, Kolkata Chapter providing scholarship to students from "Below the Poverty Line". All students are pursuing Medical, Engineering or other degree courses in various Government colleges. On the Christmas Day, scholarships were distributed to 37 such students, 50 more such students who are already beneficiaries will be handed over renewal cheques in the next few days. It was a wonderful experience talking to the students; many were within the 300th  rank in Medical and Engineering entrance exam. Many Uditans attended the meet to encourage the students. Few young Uditans also attended the meet and expressed their interest in actively participating in such social cause. It was comforting to note that our next generation were also committed to social cause.”  Anjan Dasgupta, Kolkata Chapter Volunteer

Note about Udita: Udita is a housing complex having 9 (Nine) towers providing about 700 flats where coordinator Anil Kumar Ghosh lives. NorthSouth awards for the fresh students are usually distributed in its Club, and many residents are present in this function.
