DFS - Doctor at School Orientation for Volunteers

Dear Volunteer,

Schools are all set to begin from June, and the DFS team is ready to get you started with the “Doctor at School” program. We have, so far, identified doctors for 60 schools across Bangalore. That's over 100 doctors & 35 hospitals who will be volunteering with us this year! This amazing effort has been possible through all your active participation, and it is now time to get started with the program implementation.

To help you get started, we have organized orientation programs at 3 locations to make it as easy as possible for you to attend. Please note that it is extremely important that volunteers who are interested to be part of the program go through this orientation.


Request all existing DFS volunteers to inform & invite the schools, doctors and other volunteers as well for the orientation.

As you all know, we observe 1 December as World AIDS Day and reiterate our commitment to unite in the response to HIV. The theme for World AIDS Day 2011 is “Start a Chain Reaction: Getting to Zero”, which is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. As done in the previous years, Madhyama Prasaran and Scientific Research Foundation, a registered NGO in India working with children and women affected by HIV along with a local NGO partner is facilitating a series of events. This year’s focus is to make vulnerable populations especially children, aware of their rights and create a health seeking behaviour. This will include participation in various activities like public rally, workshops, street plays, public lectures, etc. This will engage both the general public as well as members from specific communities. We look forward to welcoming you in large numbers in making this programme a grand success.

Let us all unite and demonstrate a strengthened response to the HIV epidemic.

Theatre Performance - Doosra

PARADIGM CREATION IN ASSOCIATION WITH PRA KA SAM AND MPSRF PRESENTS

DOOSRA ( THE STORY OF CRICKET)

(A play in English)

Written and Directed by Anand Raghav

Executive Producer : Sathish Chandra

Venue: Alliance Francaise, Bangalore

Two shows: 3:30 & 7.00 pm

Doosra’s protagonist is the Game of Cricket itself. The story of Cricket is depicted through the life of a 20 year old sportsman who gets selected to represent the country. The young cricketer’s paradigm driven by the forces of power, politics, money and pressure is essayed in the 100 minute play which , through its various characters, illustrates the metamorphosis of the game which over the years has grown from a sport to a mere commercial venture.

· a father who still believes in the values of the game,

· an obsessed fan with a love and hate attitude,

· a Captain who is victimized,

· a bookie who represents the darker side of the game,

· a Politician who patronizes the game for money,

· a cricketer friend who always sees the funnier side of the game

are few other characters through whom Doosra depicts the changing face of Cricket.

Doosra, with a very good balance of heart warming scenes , humour and powerful dialogues and unique technological adaptation will captivate the audience. Those who understand the intricacies of game of cricket will appreciate it even better.

Doosra received rave reviews from the Press and Public.

"The subject is new and the dialogue well crafted, scoring sixes quite often with punch lines. The writer-director propels the play forward with a strong stay at the crease and his team of actors is with him all the way” wrote the Hindu

" Worth watching for its appealing cast, humorous and witty dialogues. As the video footages of cricket is used in the play, one feels that one is watching cricket live "said Deccan Herald.
