My Views: Being emotional or not is a personal choice, i feel. Practically, the reason why i hesitate to show my concern is that i don't believe them completely. I am worried whether they are exploiting on our helping nature or they are really in need. That's the exact reason why most of our group are against too much of support. This is just my feeling.
Coming to the Guidelines, broadly we should give all disclaimers and do not raise their hopes too much. I don't mean that we should help at our convenience. We will convey them our group's limitations (Financial and Time constrainsts) and will give our full efforts for the patient. I feel the helpline medical cases can be considered as charity work rather than *active social work*. The reason is i question myself how much difference i(M.A.D) am making to the society by saving one life. In the long run, we should allot more time towards medical campaigns, visiting slums to improvise hygenic conditions. I din't work on these before but just put my thoughts here. I don't have clarity on adopting hospitals. In the next meeting we will discuss about medical campaigning and visting slums and start action. Ideas of those volunteers who worked on these causes before will be highly helpful. Regards, Ravi.
