The Rotary club of Madras Cosmos will present its Vision 2020 fundraiser on October 13 for supporting Cerebral Palsy and Happy Village (Puduraja Kandigai).

The Rotary club of Madras Cosmos is part of District 3230, which covers the Chennai, Vellore Tiruvallore, Tiruvannamalai and Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, India. The club meets at 7:00 p.m. Mondays at the Presidency Club, Egmore, Chennai.

With sustained rural development posing a challenge, our Rotary District has taken on Happy Village a vision to transform the lives of over 1 lakh Indian residing in rural sectors. Rotary club of Madras Cosmos has adopted a village and working towards transforming into a model village with access to medical facilities, clean drinking water, schools, housing and toilets for all.

We are extremely excited to take this initiative for a larger cause, said Uday Shankar, President of Rotary Club of Madras Cosmos.  It is saddening to know that each year, about 20,000 babies and infants are diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Half of people with cerebral palsy use assistive devices, including braces, walkers, and wheelchairs, to help them be more mobile. About 30% of children with cerebral palsy have seizures. We want to make a difference in their lives. Using the proceeds of this show we can make a difference in the lives of Puduraja Kandigai villagers.
