We had goosebumps on climbing the rocks to have a look at a
tiny hut measuring around 3X3 mt in which Dr. Sudarshan Hanumappa first put up
his clinic which later lead to the establishment of VGKK.
That day we were also excited to go into the forest to reach
the tribal people in the jeep called the mobile unit which works 3 days every
week. The jeep had almost all basic medicines we might require in handy lockers.
But the trip got cancelled because of the program that was being arranged in
the school auditorium. It was arranged for felicitating 2 people in the tribal
community who actually worked for their community. One of them was a student of
the same school who saved up a lakh and gave it as scholarship to the students
who earned it by writing good essays about Swamy Vivekananda. What caught my
attention was the talk by the other lady, Mrs. Madamma, simple yet appealing. She
just asked the kids to never stop learning and not bother about what the
society thinks or says and serve the community. Later we had a satisfying meal
proved by how much sleepy we got at the OPD that afternoon.
The hospital
pharmacy was a real surprise as they had all the drugs that we thought we might
need. And a huge emergency kit hanging
in the OPD. The only ones that I thought were missing were injectable anti-epileptic
drugs. So that afternoon passed by treating a few people who came to the OPD.
Soon we realised we weren’t getting any physical exercise
and so went on a nice evening walk and on returning we were told that one of us would
have to go to the PHC in Gumballi the next day.
