>From Rakesh: ==================== Dear All, Come October 2nd, the nation celebrates the birth of one of our modern prophets of peace and development for the poorest of the poor. Almost 60 years after he's gone we have largely forgotten his principles and venerated his physical form to godliness building innumerable temples and statues in hundreds to commemorate his memory, we could join the nation in garlanding India's last prophet of peace or take his principles to heart and work towards a better nation. BHUMI since its inception has been about bringing principles of our heroes back to life for a nation that will be second to none.
The following activities have been conceived by BHUMI to bring alive the Gandhi in each of us: 1. Volunteers of BHUMI will congregate at Osmania General Hospital by 11:00 am to undertake a sanitation and awareness drive, the volunteers will also help the hospital administration by color coding important departments to facilitate quicker movement of patients who come to the hospital in droves in search for a cure. The idea behind the drive is to highlight government apathy to public health. Information related to public health spending has been collated and will be disseminated among the general population during the drive. The drive will conclude at 4:00 pm in the evening. Please join us in highlighting the the apathy with which the poorest in our society are treated by the government. For further details please contact: 1. Harish Bhardwaj: 9290034721 2. K. V. Seshendra: 9866992663 3. Sai Vadlamani: 9866992671 2. The volunteers of BHUMI will then proceed to Tank Bund for a candle light vigil starting at 5:30, we are partnering with AID to highlight the Agrarian crisis and show solidarity with the farmers community, who are driven to suicides due inept government policies.
