NORLD COMMUNITY SERVICE REPORT
Since the founding of World Community Service of JAINA, it has been involved in many humanitarian projects worldwide. One of our highly successful project has been the Gujarat earthquake (January 26, 2001) victims' relief project. Within few days after the disaster JAINA team began the relief
operation and started working on the Vardhmannagar project. This work continues even today. Details of this project have been provided in previous issues. In this issue we simply present some of the recent highlights.
With the generous help of our community members: 250 ncedy families were provided new houses. Primary, middle and high school buildings are ready and hundreds of students are using them with facilities like science center, library, computer center etc. Hospital, dental clinic and community hall are built and being used today. Hospital is also
receiving remaining balance of JAINA's earthquake fund ($12.868.89) to equip it with necessary equipments like beds, oxygen cylinders, EKG machine, dental chair and other medical supplies. This fund is sent to Vardhmannagar hospital as per promise of JAINA president Kirit Daftary to Vardhmannagar trustees during his visit in January 2006.
Vardhmannagar project is an example of success, materialized due to the dedicated effort of JAINA's generously contributing members and the dedicated team of volunteers who saw the project through its completion.
