MOTHER CHILD CLINIC, PANJAB
$ 1 is what’s needed to provide medical care at UNITED SIKHS’ Mother Child Clinic in Punjab.
This clinic was started near Goraya, Punjab, on the day of Vaisakhi in 2012. Since then, free medication and treatment has been provided to over 5000 patients from 5 nearby villages. UNITED SIKHS’ 2013 goal is to touch 100 lives every day by promoting wellness as well as providing basic urgent care to underserved poor communities to the surrounding 10 villages. Prior to the opening, the nearest paid clinic was at 6 KM distance.
Will you join us in bringing healthcare to at least 100 mothers and their children in Punjab every day next year?
Types of services include maternity checkup, asthma, vaccinations, lab tests and other routine pediatric and gynecology services. The clinic also promotes wellness in the community by educating the farmers on correct use of pesticides and related cancer issues.
The clinic also imparts computer education to interested local children. Your $1 will provide free medicines to 1 mother or child in Punjab.
Guru Nanak Food Pantry
The Guru Nanak Food Pantry is a collaboration of United Sikhs and the Orange County Second Harvest Food Bank. The Pantry derived its purpose to serve the greater Orange County area from a cornerstone tradition in the Sikh faith known as langar, which literally means kitchen and spiritually can be defined as sacred food service or divine dining.
Location: 14511 Franklin Ave, suite 160 Tustin, CA 92780.
Open every Saturday 8:30- 11:30 am.
Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts
Hurricane Sandy’s economic toll exceeded $ 60 billion in damages after the biggest Atlantic storm slammed into the Eastern U.S., damaging homes and offices and flooding subways in America’s most populated cities of New Jersey, New York, to name a couple.
UNITED SIKHS First Response Team worked directly with shelters to assess needs and Gurdwaras to facilitate the preparation of the hot meals.
