Hello everyone! We just wanted to update our audience on what we are doing for community service with another monthly blog to keep everyone in the know. We currently are going through some minor setbacks, but we are continuing to develop our project to the best of our abilities! First, our team has been working very hard to get our care package together for Prabhata Sindhuri. As a refresher, Prabhata Sindhuri is a school located in India that not only provides free education to low-income families but also speech therapy, physiotherapy, early intervention and sensory integration, pre-vocational skills, training at-home management, and occupational therapy. However, they lack substantial funding and, as a result, struggle with providing consistent therapeutic services to their students. We wanted to help this school with obtaining more substantial funding and offering them resources to help supplement the care they offer. We are in the process of compiling two care packages: one for older kids and one for younger kids. In the older kids' care packages will be a Crayola marker set, calming tools, sensory toys and masks. In the younger kids' care packages will be books, calendar worksheets, sensory toys, and masks. The care packages will also include a heartwarming cover letter, a drawing, an explanation of how to use the activities and toys, and how to use a mask. We will also be including art and music workshops for these students. Pranav, one of the co-founders of HealthNeedsRx, is also taking a course on special education for applied behavioural analysis to understand and connect with these students so we can best know how to help them. Our team has also been reaching out to companies to help with sponsorships, and we are setting up a new crowdfunding page to help these kids. Lastly, we are reaching out to doctors for Instagram webinars. Webinars will be coming soon. Our main project is getting the care packages together. Make sure to stay in touch to read our monthly community service updates! Written by: Amna Mohammed, edited by: Pallavi Ghosh
