Daily we are getting around 15-20 children attendance.

Hi Friends,

ప్రతి  రెండు  మూడు వారాలకి ఒకసారి శరీరానికి కొత్త రక్తం ఎక్కించాలి  లేకపోతె బ్రతకడం కష్టం.ఇలాంటి పరిస్థితిని ఏమంటారో తెలుసా ?  తలసీమియా . ఇప్పుడు మనం తలసీమియా జబ్బుని ఎడుర్కోకపోతే  మన రాష్ట్రంలో
ఇప్పుడున్న వందలమంది పిల్లలు రేపు వేలమంది అవుతారు.. తలస్సేమియానీ నిర్మూలించడానికి జరిగీ పోరాటంలో మీ వంతు సాయం కావాలి రండి మనమంతా కలిసి తలస్సేమియా పైనా పోరాటం చేద్దాం.
