Jalandhar, December 2

The Rotary Club of Jalandhar organised an online meeting with Ravinder (Ravi) Singh, Founder, Khalsa Aid International, UK.

It was indeed an inspiring session as Ravi shared how the organisation was founded in 1999 after he saw the pathetic plight of the refugees of Kosovo. “The year marked the 300th birth anniversary of the Khalsa and I believe there was no better way to celebrate it than forming an organisation that would work for the welfare of the entire human race”, expressed Ravi Singh as he spoke to the members.

“The meeting was well attended by a series of members and guests from Jalandhar as well as across the country who had joined online to listen to the great personality,” informed Prabhpal Singh Pannu, president, Rotary Club Jalandhar.

The governor, Davinder Singh, from Amritsar, formally welcomed Ravi Singh. The proceedings of the meeting were efficiently conducted by the secretary, Mandeep Singh, who coordinated the entire event. While talking to the audience, Ravi Singh shared details of different projects started like ‘Plant a Memorial’ in refugee camps in Iraq and renovating a dilapidated school in Punjab. He also shared how recently Khalsa Aid helped solve innumerable medical cases in Punjab and is now providing refreshments to the farmers in Haryana and Delhi borders.

“We would be keen to initiate a series of well-women clinics in Punjab for new mothers and other women in collaboration with the Rotary Clubs”, he added. Surendra Seth, one of the senior most members, presented a formal vote of thanks and expressed his gratitude to Ravi Singh for sharing his valuable experiences.
