Laughter is the best medicine and thats why Atlanta chapter of Sewa International brings you "Hansi Ke Favvare" 2008 - Hindi Standup Comedy - Fourth time in a row.

Last year, the same event was enjoyed by more than 300 people. Here is the link to the article and snaps.

This year, we are featuring two prominent Kavis from Bharat, with mastery over an appealing combination of Genres: Political satire and Everyday life comedy. This combination will leave you spellbound and keep you yearning for more.

All proceeds from the fund raising literary event will go towards Gram Arogya Rakshak social development projects in India. This unique project focuses on training an experienced nurse/medical representative person for an entire village at a nominal cost of 1 dollar a day.

Concept of Aarogyarakshak

Aarogyarakshak is a local person (usually young) trained in
preventive health care, early identification of major diseases,
nutrition, and hygiene. This person carries a kit of basic medicines
and apparatus.

He/she visits each village that is assigned to him on
a regular basis. Refresher trainings and inputs by the district team
guide the Aarogyarakshak in his work. The district team is made of
able doctors and social workers. This team decides the focus area,
e.g. they foresee an epidemic in a particular season and plan
appropriate action. The Aarogyarakshak is supported and monitored by
a Group leader (per every 10 Aarogyarakshaks) and by a Unit leader
(per every 50 Aarogyarakshak).

The network of Aarogyarakshak works as
an interactive medium of health: they take health-service to the
people, and bring feedback of people to the service-providers. He/she
plays multiple roles for the villagers: a health-educator, a point of
first referral, and a health-counsellor.

The Aarogyarakshak is
trusted by the people. He/she is a local person and is a volunteer.
He/she is not paid and does not have any commercial interest in this
work.
