Mangaluru, June 18, 2018: Speaking during the Eid celebration with the staff of Wenlock Hospital, organised by M Friends at IMA Hall in Mangaluru on June 17, Sunday;  DK DC  Sasikanth Senthil,  suggested that instead of expecting the government to do all the work, people should contribute their share for the social well-being.

Organisations like the M Friends have set an example, by providing evening meals for the attendants of the inpatients at the Wenlock District Hospital, under ‘Karunya’ scheme. Other organisations should take a cue and contribute to such causes, he further said.

Wenlock district government hospital DMO and District Surgeon Dr H R Rajeshwari Devi said that on an average, 100 patients are admitted every day at the Wenlock District Hospital, and 60% of them are from far of places. The government provides food to the admitted patients. But, there is no provision for the attendants.

Compelling the patients to share their food with their bystanders. NGOs such as Snehalaya and the M Friends are providing food for the attendants, she said and thanked the organisations for providing the help.

Delivering the Eid message,  Muhammed Khazi said that 30 days of strict ritualistic observation during the holy month of Ramzan, is aimed towards purifying the minds. In the current days, the mind can be contaminated due to various reasons. The society cannot become healthy until the minds get pure. This could be achieved by developing perseverance and being compassionate. Everyone must remember that there is only one God, and no one is an outsider.

M Friends Association vice-president Rashid Vittal said that the alphabet ‘M’ in the name of the association ‘M Friends’, stands for ‘Mercy’. The organisation has been raising funds for the benefit of the needy, for past five years. About 400 to 500 evening meals are provided at the district Wenlock Government Hospital per day, he added.

Barakah International School Founder Chairman Ashraf Bajpe and UN Logistics Officer Muhammed Mohsin were felicitated on the occasion. M Friends Association president Muhammed Hanif Hazi was present among others.
