DHAKI – HEALTH CENTRE

IIMC – Steps to most Rural and Remote areas of Sundarban Forest- islands.

On 2nd August 2006, IIMC inaugurate its most rural health center at the Delta of the Ganges, in the Bay of Bengal. Where people are living in the small island challenging, their lives with Tigers, Crocodile Cobras and regular natural Climates.

IIMC – started one medical out door 3 years before in a small community house of the village.

We felt clearly that medical and educational need is very urgent and critical. So we decided to work with serious initiatives and got big piece of land to build up health centers.

On 2nd August IIMC own building has been inaugurated and opened for the health center and Micro-finance support for the people around.

People are not educated and suffering with medical crisis, because in that remote area no service is available.

Therefore, it will be prudent for IIMC to set-up good health, educational, micro-finance and other developmental project.

Clothes Distribution Among Poor

We distributed new clothes and dress among our poor sponsored children who lost their fathers to the widow women on 1st October 2005, in presence of Mr. Serjio and other foreign volunteers at our indoor centre.

We distributed 60 pieces of sarees, 80 pieces of T-shirts, and 100 pieces of girl dresses for Hindu Festival Durga Puja and Muslim ID. All those children and women are very happy to get this nice gift for festival.

ハトガチャ（Hatgacha）は，コルカタから30Km西に位置する農村です。90％の人々は，魚を取るか，小さな池で魚の養殖をしています。
ここの人口のほとんどは，下層階級で，経済的には非常に貧しい状況です。そのため，教育の機会などありません。そもそも，この地区には学校すらありませんでした。
IIMCはこの農村を6年前に見つけました。そして，すぐさま小学校前の教育プログラムを開始しました。
この地区で3年間の教育プログラムを実施して，学校を小学校に改築し，同時にマイクロ・クレジットプログラムを開始する必要性を痛感しました。マイクロ・クレジットプログラムは，バングラディシュで始められた貧しい人々を対象としたグラミン銀行と同じようなプログラムです。そして，教育を受けさせるためのスポンサーシッププログラムも開始することにしました。

学校は竹で作られているため，徐々に壊れていきます。また，モンスーンの季節になると，子供たちが教室内にとどまっていることは大変危険です。
イタリアの友人とプロジェクト・カルカッタ ONLUSのサポートによりこの農村に新しい学校が建設されることになりました。

この学校の建設は順調です。4ヶ月後には，コンクリートの校舎ができあがります。
この村のすべての子供たちがここで勉強することができます。この農村の状況は変わりました。すべての人に発展の機会がきます。

Hatgacha one rural village is situated 30km east from Kolkata in a very remote area, 90% people are fishermen and living on fish cultivation on their small pond and in a sallow water in their neighourhood. Most of this population are backward class and economically very poor had no chance for education even there was no any school. IIMC discover this village 6 years before and immediately started education programme with a pre-primary school.

After 3 years in education programme in this area we felt this school should upgraded to a primary school and same time we started the micro-credit like the Grameen Bank and the children sponsorship for education.

[Bamboo made a primary school at Hatgacha]

[Inside the classroom all children are happy
to hear the news of their new school construction]

The school was running in a bamboo house which was slowly melting and in monsoon period it is very difficult for the children to stay in the classroom.

Thanks to our Italian friends and the Projecto Calcutta ONLUS for their active support for construction a new school building for this village.

[Construction is in good progress.
A concrete school building is coming up for the village.]

[Costanza, Barnali, Prof. Chowdhury and IIMC members are
on visit to see the progress of the school construction]

The school building construction is good progress, within next 4 month the school will be ready in concrete building.

Every child of the whole village will get chance for education and the situation will be changed and development will come for everyone.
