Rs 15,207/- to Prescilla for Heart Surgery

On 19 Feb 2008, Mission 5 donated Rs 15,207/-
[Fifteen thousand two hundred and seven rupees only]
to the parents of Prescilla Kumari, a 9-year-old girl,
staying at Tin factory, for an open-heart surgery
at Narayana Hrudayalaya, HSR Layout, Bangalore.



A 7-member group of students went to Narayana Hrudayalaya
on this day and donated the amount to the girl's parents.

This sum was raised through a 6-day collection drive
conducted at the venue of DRISHTI - a photo exhibition
by Mission from 11-16 Feb 2008.

The heart surgery completed successfully just a few minutes before we reached the hospital.

22 Jan 2008, a day that marked
the completion of 355 days of MISSION 5,
CNN IBN, an English News Channel,
approached us to help our service to the needy
be known to the entire nation
and help inspire others
to begin a similar campaign in their college..



The day-long shooting came to an end at around 5PM
after which we had a small discussion.
All had one thing in common to say;
the crew's social concern was noticeably higher than professional.

contribution that the crew made to Mission5.
