After years of planning, FIND THE CURE was born October 2006 from an idea and a exploration journey searching for the poorest areas of Southern India. On 21st December this idea becomes reality with the foundation of the No Profit Committee and a group of friends that is growing very quickly. In February Mission I started with the building of a health centre in Khozinjampara that will be finished in June. In the meantime Project II, III and IV where launched because there is a lot of work to be done and little time.

Project I: the building of the walls of the Khozinjampara health centre will be finished in June 2007. In October we will start the medical activity during Mission II with Italian doctors and nurses.
Voluntary Italian doctors will each spend a month analysing the sanitary needs of the population, organising and preparing the work of the specialist doctors (eye specialists, surgeons, paediatricians, etc.) so the their work will be more efficient.

Project I also foresees a monetary fund to pay complex operations to people without money. Medicines and equipment will be acquired in India because they are more convenient. The project is demanding not only to start off but mainly to keep it running.
The health centre will be managed all year round by a local professional nurse and by visits of a local doctor.
Next to Project I we have placed three minor projects, seeing they are easier mange from a human resorce point of view.

Project II: terminal ill therapy and pain home. Nangunery (Tamil Nadu). Nangunery is a small village 400 km South of Kozhinjampara where due to an ancient tradition of miraculous healings, many terminally ill people find refuge in a church waiting for a miracle. The idea came from the will to build a place where there people can spend the last days of their life in a dignified manner with the chance to use analgesic therapy. The “pain-less house” will be managed by local trained personnel and will be controlled by doctors that are involved in the Kozhinjamparan mission.

Project III. Nursery and elementary school Raghavapuram village , Chintalapudi (Andra Pradesh). Raghavapuram is a small village 400 km south-east of Hyderabad in the region of Andra Pradesh, in Central Southern India. They are groups of huts that sustain themselves with farming and rice cultivations, totally lacking any kind of services, schools, sanitary assistance, mission or nuns. If someone builds them a school, they are willing to open a small nunnery that would teach. Therefore once the schools is built we all ready have cleaver Indian nun teachers. I have worked as a doctor in these villages and despite the poverty, the population is charming and inclined to study. It will be an elementary school with first level teaching. To make a school one needs at least 3 nursery classes, 5 elementary classes, 1 office, 1 hall; a refectory would also be nice, but if one has to save money the children can eat in the entrance, protected from the rain.

Project IV: home for abandoned elderly people Pondicherry (Tamil Nadu) In India elderly people abandoning is a big problem. With this project we want to build a house that can welcome the elderly and organise some activities that will keep them busy during the day. The personnel to manage this structure is also already available for this project. All the projects have been contemplated in very underdeveloped and needy areas, personally examined.

All FIND THE CURE projects are thought and created so that they will be autonomous in 3-5 years. All the projects are ready - planning, contacts with constructors, personnel that will manage the structures in the next few years – and when funds are found can be implemented in 6-8 months. We hope to have gained your trust and the possibility to carry out these projects.
