PK Portrayed Book
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As you are aware, my organization is deeply involved with providing charitable services to patients suffering from asthma and allergies in different locations by:
1. Organizing asthma awareness camps; 2. Building free charitable clinics; 3. Arranging for the transfer of medical equipment across continents; and 4. Expanding post-MD educational programs in the field of immunology.
In order to support all these activities, most of the charitable programs have been self-funded. I depend on, and appreciate additional support (moral, professional, and financial) from my colleagues, well-wishers, alumni from the Diploma programs, as well as from friends and relatives.
The funds collected will be utilized for the following activities:
• Swaasha Allergy Asthma charitable clinic at MMCRI, Mysore. Karnataka • Swaasha Allergy Asthma Charitable clinic at Jodhpur, Rajasthan • Asthma Allergy Awareness camps in various locations • Asthma Allergy Network India (AANI) • Planned Centre of excellence in Allergy, Asthma & Immunology at CMC, Vellore, India
One of the ways I am planning to conduct the next fund-drive is through the distribution of a unique book, ‘PK PORTRAYED’ by Mr. MOHAN MURTHY, an author and publisher in Mysore, India. This book encompasses my life from my childhood years, through the different stages of life, to the present day, all in an easily readable and seamless narration. The book is presently available in English.
