*Drive through vaccination camp - Whitefield*
Considering the extreme severity of the Covid challenge and the increasing case numbers in Bangalore, a gated community in Whitefield conducted a camp for the 45+ category via a Drive Through contactless vaccination initiative.
This probably is a first of its kind being conducted by a Residents Association in Bangalore and possibly in India
The vaccination camp was held at Palm Meadows in RGHalli on Sat, May 8 and was organised by the MC/COVID Task Force team. The service was provided by BGS Gleneagles

What will 'someone' do to help another.
We are always cautioned about the other, to be wary. But the stories we hear now tell & teach us otherwise.
Here is one such.
Story of a 75+ senior citizen, living alone in Bangalore, with a young care taker. No close relatives.
SC falls ill. Concerned neighbours contact niece & nephew who live out of state. Tests done, both SC & caretaker are positive. Nephew, an employee of Cisco, taps into the work volunteer network to arrange a bed.
Meanwhile, the saturation level starts dropping.

COVID19 Second Wave: Whitefield Rising Volunteer Effort
WR is a group of dedicated volunteers who come to do what they can, to help each other in times of need. Here are some of the things volunteers have put their heart and minds to do.
1. Assisted Whitefield Police to set up a Covid Care Centre (CCC) at Kadugodi
For parents with young children - contingency planning
WR Advisory | May 1, 2021
Corona is devastating and many families have lost multiple members due to the infection. We are seeing many young people lose lives too.
For parents with young child - a recommendation.
Please make a plan for who will take care of your child/children if and when you fall sick. Identity family / friends in the community or in BLR, even if your child is suspected to have COVID and need clearance.

This article right here captures many of the things wrong about the Bangalore infra fix.
Video 1: entrance to Borewell Road from Whitefield Main Rd. The dug up sections outside the Post Office remains unchanged for year+
In some patches, both sides of the road is poor made worse by construction debris
Slow going on a Saturday afternoon. Vehicles & construction work machines parked haphazardly make it all the worse.
Where is the concern for free movement on a road? What happens in an emergency?

*Differently abled | divyangjan*
A story.
I* has had a tough life. All of 15yo, ill treated by his stepmother, I* was at his wits end in Chikkaballapur. Making matters worse, a hearing issue since birth. As yet undiagnosed.
His maternal uncle got him to Whitefield this year
Uncle reached out to Whitefield Rising, who he came to know via the recycling “Restore” in Vijaynagar.
First things first: Seek clarity on the problem.
Off to @teleradrxdx for an audiology test (cost discounted, 🙏🏽). 80% hearing loss was the verdict. Need hearing aids.
