Here is my response. 1&2 . I agree with Prasanthi.I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be taking up medical cases.But I am not sure on the criteria yet,like which age group etc..
3.Even on this , I don't think its a good idea not to take up just because we can't contribute complete amount..Who knows if we contribute say X amount , some other group/individuals may be able to pitch in remaining ,which may help that case overall. But I feel we need more discussion on 2nd point and in general what should be the guidelines to take up any case.
