Ohum : Fighting for Cleft Free India

Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something !


Do you know what is cleft?

Cleft is a split/cut in the lip or palate, a terrible condition that makes it impossible for a child to eat breath, sleep or lead a normal life. Cleft is rated the number one birth defect. In India 1.5 million cleft affected children and 35,000 born every year.


There are lot of organizations, ngo's, hospitals, doctors, nurses, individuals volunteering to create smiles through camps and permanent centers.

I am sure you must be thinking why this particular cause?
Cleft is curable with just a simple operation that takes $240, 45 minutes and we can promise a child- smile for life.
$750 is the cost per child 1.5 million children costs to $1 billion a lot of money isn't it?
$240 per child Ohum makes it possible with the tie-ups with our partners.

There is no better gift than gifting someone a SMILE FOREVER:(Per smile @ $240)
1 smile a day-365 smiles a year
1 smile a week-52 smiles a year
1 smile a month-12 smiles a year
1 smile a year

Hi All,

It was a great feeling to finally meet in person with people whom we had connected in the virtual world till now. A big ‘Thank You’ to all of you who made it to the event.

The participants were from all backgrounds - IT, Retail, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Politics and many more. Many companies shared their corporate presentations. In total 35 members were present.

New logo for the group was selected. You can find the updated logo on your profile now.

A movie was played by Professional Party of India, a political company started by IT professionals.

Post 91 was a cool place with good dinner served along with wine. Thanks to http://www.tastykhana.com/ which helped us to select the venue.

Only disappointing point was that a lot of people who had earlier confirmed could not turn up for the meet. My appreciation to those of you who were courteous enough to intimate me of your inability to attend despite your earlier confirmation. Thanks to Post91 management which didn't charge me for the shortfall from the booked capacity (which was based on confirmations).

Go Green

Hi All,

I wonder how many of you have seen Al Gore's Climate Crisis Campaign Documentary called "An inconvenient Truth"? If not please do see it.

I was excited to know that Art of Living has actually taken up a challenge to plant 10 crore (100 million) trees in 3 months time across 88 countries. Here are the details http://www.standuptakeactionaolun.com/ supported by UN.
You can also contribute in whichever way you can support this campaign.

You can think of more, One company can send one presentation only, So you have to check with fellow members of your comapny.

Meet Update -1

Hi All,

Thanks for overwhelming response and enthusiasm shown by all of you. I am specially very thankful to the members who have offered their personal support to arrange the meet.

I got few requests for changing the date and time of the meet, I apologize to all of them as it is very difficult to reach a commonly agreed date and time, only thing I can do is I can give a long notification for the meet so that you can keep your calendar free for that day.

I also got few requests to keep it on weekend, I think next time we can have it on weekend, if it is convenient to majority. It will help members from Mumbai to join us for meet.

If you have any suggestion/ idea/ or agenda please let me know I will try to incorporate that.
Overseas members who are not able to attend the meet can send their thoughts on email or they can post it as comments on linkedpune.com to share it with all, after all we belong to an online community :)

With best regards
Shwetank Upadhyaya

Meeting reminder

Hi All,

We have grown to a size of 652 members (as on 20th July 2008) in a span of less than 4 months. A big 'Thank You' to all the LinkedPune members on this achievement!

I keep on getting requests from our LinkedPune members to arrange a club meet or an informal gathering. I too feel that it is now time to come out of online networking and at least plan to meet in the real world. I would like to invite suggestions from all the members on their expectations and other inputs from such a meeting.

We can fix up some convenient restaurant or club in Pune, where we can gather at least once in a quarter. I can keep the venue and other meeting details posted on LinkedPune.com for the future meets.
It will be a self sponsored gathering. However, if there are members interested in sponsoring a particular meet, they are most welcome to contact me.

Agenda for first meeting will be to have a face to face introduction and also to decide on the future course of action for this group. I will arrange badges of LinkedPune.com so that people can identify each other. I am planning to have the inaugural meet tentatively on Friday August 22 from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM.

Please drop me an email if you are interested in participating for the inaugural meet. Once I get a list of interested members, I will talk to few clubs or restaurants and arrange the first meet.

Thanks and Warm Regards,

Shwetank Upadhyaya

Lets plan to meet

Hi,

My idea is, we can fix some convenient restaurant or club in Pune, where we can come once in a month.
Please drop me a email if you are interested. Once I will get a list of few interested members, I will arrange the meet.

New Members

Hi All,
134 new members have been added since last introduction, i.e. in just 2 weeks, Now it is difficult for me to introduce each new member joining in, I would request new members to introduce themselves by writing a mail to me or directly posting a blog under general discussion topic. It will help all the members as after crossing 500 members people will not find it easier to browse each and every member on linkedin.
