Similar sentiments were echoed by Mr. Fred Keller, Managing Director of THEKO die Markenteppiche, Germany when he said – “it is a real pleasure to see the children growing. Good Luck for the future!

As always the children were more than happy to welcome them and show their talents infront of their guests. The gifts and stationery distributed by their well wishers made their day. These token of appreciation bring a lot of cheer and joy in their lives and motivate them to dream big.

Health Check up Camps in the Carpet Belt The doctors carried out check ups of 80 students in RUGMARK Junior High School, Barhi Navada, Varanasi on 13. October 2009. Free of cost medicines were also distributed to the children. Most of the children were found to be suffering from seasonal ailments like cough, cold and flu. The doctor diagnosed a class 6th student with serious heart ailment. Her father was called and was asked to take her to a heart specialist. The next camp was at RUGMARK school Jagapur, where almost 110 students had check ups from the RUGMARK doctor. Here most of the children were suffering from skin diseases apart from seasonal ailments. RUGMARK School Vijaypur also organized a medical camp on 19. December 2009. Almost all the kids of the school were checked up and given medicine if required or referred to doctors for further follow up. We would try to find the cause for this disease in this part of the village with the help of medical experts and health workers of the area. In addition to the students even the teachers and the staff got their check ups and free medicines. RUGMARK health camps have become quite popular in the carpet belt and the villagers are looking forward to taking their children to such camps.
