Dear Members, Donors and Readers,
The AVOPA Boys free Hostel has admitted thirteen students in this academic year. They will be provided free boarding, lodging and all other facilities to enable hassle free studies. As shared with you, the hostel is well equipped with all the facilities needed and is located in Chamarajpet. We are glad to inform you that already we have received positive response, from seven donors and we need just six more donors to meet the expenditure of the hostel. We would really appreciate donors coming forward and adopting a student each. It just costs Rs.30,000/- for adopting a student, for the whole year. Income Tax exemption is also available.
The Scholarship Program is announced page 4 for receiving applications from eligible students. We seek more applications to identify and honour our meritorious students. We attach considerable importance to this activity, as youngsters have enormous potential, which needs to be encouraged to build a stronger community. We have a vision of seeing number of our youngsters scaling new heights in the society.
The AVOPA Nagar project is under progress and we are expecting to support many more home seekers in Bangalore.
The Matrimonial Meet has been an outstanding success. We had 300 plus participants and more than 450 non-participating participants. There was an atmosphere of festivity and happiness in the hall. The parents and their wards had an opportunity to meet and greet others, who were pursuing a similar goal. The general sentiment was, to have more such meets to help the community. The Chairman and the members of the Committee are to be complemented for their unstinted work.
Our Independence day is on 15th of August. I, on behalf of AVOPA, greet all of you and wish you a prideful day. With a new Government in the Centre, we are hoping for better days to come and it will happen, when all of us collectively work towards the betterment of the country. 'Freedom brings with it Responsibility' there cannot be freedom without responsibility. Let all of us take an oath to be more responsible and help the Government to administer the country better.
With Warm Regards,N.A. Shankaranarayana Setty

Report on Previous Month Program held on 13th July 2014Avopa organised a talk on Skin White Patches, (Leucoderma / Vitiligo) by Dr. SDN.Gupta, a very seniorand popular skin specialist of our community Sri N A Shankaranarayana Setty, President welcomed all the members present. Dr. Gupta made a PPT presentation to make his lecture more effective.
He saluted his parents and Sri Sathya Sai Baba before commencement of his lecture.SOME POINTS he narrated are listed below:Skin color is produced by Melanin. if it is not produced it loses its color and results in white patches. It is not a decease. In Earlier days , some of the Hotel and Restaurants used to display a Board that such patients have no admission. It is a inherited one but all the children do not necessarily get that kind of skin. small patches can be cured at early stages. This occurrence is more in PATEGAR community. Religion or socio economic conditions are not causes. Honey Lemon consumed to increase vitamin c in the Body may or not be a cause. LEPROSY IS CONTAGIOUS BUT NOT VITILIGO.There are several kinds of Vitiligo, some of them are curable by several ways. Leucoderma may be on account of leather shoes, chappals or purses coming into close contact of the skin. The occurrence is more in Argentina and more number of treatments are also available in Argentina. Surgical process is not a complicated one. 19th May is observed as leucoderma day. It cannot be prevented, It may occur at the time of birth or subsequently. Vitamin D is good to avoid and cure. Sunbath between 10.30 am and 11.30 is very much suggested.President sri N.A.Shankaranarayana Setty, explained the various activities of Avopa and requested members present to contribute for AVOPA HOSTEL PROJECT and Book Bank project. He complimented the services rendered by Sri P.C.Balaraj, President Avopa Charitable Trust and greeted him with a garland as it was his birthday.
