Welcome to Vasantha Memorial Trust
The 29th year of the trust was one toughest one since the beginning! The action was mainly in Mumbai as the managing trustee took seriously ill. On 3rd March 23 there was an overwhelming response to the cancer awareness talk at a corporate centre at Chennai after which only a breast cancer workshop was held by him on 22nd September at Dindigul. The only redeeming feature was the combined cancer victors and thanks giving day held on 27th August 23 at Chennai. Victors and those who helped the trust since inception till date gathered and expressed their solidarity with the trust. In Mumbai all regular activities ran full fledged and cancer victor rehabilitation took a very big leap.A new project,Ann-vasantham was launched on 24th October 23 and will become operational today,4th December 23. The aim of the project is to provide breakfast and lunch to attenders of 100 patients taking treatment at Tata memorial hospital daily. The response from people for this is very good and we are booked till March 2024. Of course stitching of bags and other stuff are going at vande Bharath speed . In between we also honoured Dr.M.B Agarwal MD,MNAMS,the leading hematologist at Mumbai with “My mentor award “ on 22nd October 23.The 24th year seems to be the year of the Mumbai chapter wherein lot of projects are on the anvil. At Chennai seeing of patients and cancer awareness will be the main focus.
