With the help of MAX New York Life we were able to do a healthcamp with MMR (Mumps, Measles, Rubella) vacinations and vitamin supplements for the children in the Marudyan Learning Centre. We also conducted a second Healthcamp with typhoid vaccines and vitamin supplements in the Labour Camp of Belaire in Gurgaon.

The ADP staff in U.K. has organized a Soup Tuesday and Cake Thursday at work. The funds that the people save on their lunch goes towards the Operational Expenses of Marudyan Learning Centre. Isn't that a tremendous initiative as here in India sharing food is considered saying I appreciate you and we are friends. Dear Friends at ADP. Thank you for this warm gesture and your partnership!

Marudyan's main objective is bringing sponsored education to the out-of-school children of B.P.L. (Below Poverty Line) families and to give sponsored Skill Development Training to the older members of these families to improve their standard of living, regardless of caste or social and religious background.

Marudyan Society was started in 1998 by John Beentjes, his family and volunteer co-workers. Marudyan is Bengali for Oasis. The registrar of societies renamed it "Calcutta Marudyan". The spelling of Marudyan has been difficult to remember, hence we have made the easier to remember link http://www.teachus.in/
