You can directly contact the baby's parents (or) contact the following
persons for your contribution

***************
I have talked to Stanis (b4 posting) & the current satatus is that they collected around 80K. They still require another 75k. The child would be operated today.
Im sure the baby would also require post-operation medicare & your contribution can make a difference.
BUT Please don't contribute blindly. Call up at these no's, talk to them & figure out what are their current requirements. People in chennai can go & meet the parents personally before contributing.
If we can help Varsha, it would be yet another moment to show that we CARE!!!

Ashish
