Newborn Screening Fundraising Efforts
As mentioned in my blog post from October 29th, I have started fundraising to support the implementation of a newborn screening program in a few specific hospitals in Tamil Nadu, a southern state of India. The funds will be used to pay for underprivileged families to screen their infants, ensuring that no newborn disease goes undetected.
How can you help?
1. Donating: Any donation amount would be helpful for this cause. To donate, scroll down or visit https://pages.donately.com/newbornscreening/campaign/india-newborn-screening-fundraiser.
​
2. Volunteering: There are so many ways you can volunteer to help raise money. For example, you can teach a class, lead a competition, organize an event, host a clothing drive or car wash, and more. To teach a class or hold a competition, sign up at https://forms.gle/ozAWR115Tc3usFuf9. If you would like to get involved in another way, email me at healthdevblog@gmail.com or leave a message on my website, and I'll get back to you right away!
Acknowledgements
I would like to thank all the volunteers that are teaching classes and holding other events to help fundraise for this cause, and I would like to extend a special thank you to all the fundraising leaders who have been supportive and have been committing time to ensure that everything runs smoothly!
