A. OngoingProject (Initiated in 2004):
Sammed Shikar Hospital Project--Our center has raised over $20K
for this project. The original write up (dated 2004) is attached. I have
an updated version (please let me know if you want it).
Current status: There is an existing hospital building with a nurse
helper and a Physican (Dr. Singh). However, they lack a mobile
van/ambulance/hospital on wheel to serve the community aroound
Parasnath Hills.
Sudhirbhai Shah and Jyotsanaben, representing JCGH, during their
yatra to Sikharji visited the Hospital. They donated a large amount of
medicine purchased in Mumbai (per suggestions from Dr. Vijendra
Goel. MD and Dr. Adish Jain).
Sudhirbhai mentioned that the hospital personnel requested for a
van. Since this was our original idea (per file attached), we are
working to procure a multipurpose van that can serve the
community. We are planning that Dr. Adish Jain will facilitate delivery
of the van during his forthcoming trip to India.
Jain Center of Greater Hartford is currently working with Jain Center
of Connecticut to gather support for this.
B. Ongoing project: Mahavir Ahinsa and Peaceful Living Experience
(MAPLE) is an annual seminar which was started at the University of
Connecticut to commomerate the 2600th birth anniversary of
Bhagwan Mahavir. The proceed of the endowment (~$40K) and
donations for an operational fund support the Seminar.
This year (October 7th) we are hoping that Mahatma Gandhi's grand
daughter (South Africa) will be the keynote speaker. Previous
speakers include: Dr. Padamnabh Jaini, Michael Tobias, Samaniji,
Gurudev Chitrabhanuji, Human right Dr. Shiva (Sri Lanka).
C. Integration Project: Practice of Anekantwada
We are planning to raise funds to support Temples/Centers here
and in India to promote integrated Poojas/Aarti/Mangal Divo (e.g.
Aarti from various traditions, installing Pratimas from at least two
traditions).
In this regards, we would like to bring to your attention close
cooperation bewteen two centers in CT (JCGH and JCC) and
Center in Poughkeepsie, NY. We do Bhavana together during
Paryushan and Daslakshan Parv. We cosponsor visiting scholar
(e.g. Samanji, Tarlaben Doshi).
