Helping Hearts, Barpali

Helping Hearts of Barpali is a Charitable Trust that has been setup by Satyananda Pandey. Satya was brought up under the adverse situations of life as his  father rearing his family of seven members with a mere salary of Rs.1,200 a month. Since Satya himself was deprived of a wholesome life, he decided to work for the betterment of the society. He had the urge to serve the people especially those who are being oppressed. In the year 2017 he started a social organisation by the name of Helping Hearts, Barpali. In the past one and half years this organisation has helped a score of destitute people who are deprived of availing benefits from the government, either because they are victim of illiteracy or lack the knowledge of how to avail the benefits that are provided by the Government.

The modus operandi of Helping Hearts is to answer the difficulties and need of each individual instead of community as a whole. In the past two years it has attended to the need of many sick and handicap persons of different villages across Bargarh, Sonepur and Balangir districts.

Finally this destitute boy got a tricycle. Likewise Sunita Seth a  twenty years young woman of Babupali and Srabani Sahu an eight years old young girl of Krushakapali as well got wheelchairs.

The volunteers of Helping Hearts with financial aid from Pragati Seva Sangha took this girl to VSS Medical College(VIMSAR) at Burla. When she undergone treatment over next two months she returned to normalcy.

Until now Helping Hearts, Barpali has

conducted two health camps for the women folk. The first one was at Barpali, where as many as 51 ladies participated and the second one was at village Remta where 93 ladies actively participated. It is to be noted district Bargarh is reporting innumerable cases of cancer due to abnormal use of pesticides and fertilizers in the farm lands.  More to it the ratio of feline afflicted to cancer is more than their male counterpart. Dr.Susmita Dash Tripathy (MD, O&G) conducted these two workshops exclusively for the rural women surrounding villages of Barpali and Remta. At Barpali around 51 women attended the workshop where as at Ramta. Our society is conservative in nature and most of the rural women veil their faces under their respective sarees. While respecting the dignity of our rural women Satyananda Pandey made it sure to call a female gynaecologist instead of a male doctor so as the rural women would be able to interact without encountering any shyness and the social stigma.
