| Isha Foundation - Tsunami Relief & Rehabilitation |
 |
"We must understand what the disaster is. A huge
wave is not the disaster. The disaster is human.
People who lost their family, that's the disaster.
Somebody lost his livelihood; somebody lost his
home; that's the disaster. Somebody doesn't have
something to eat tonight; that's the disaster. So,
this disaster is not just on the physical plane. A
human being's suffering is hugely within himself,
more than outside. A few packets of food may
arrive, and he may get to eat; however, the new
conditions - that he has to sit on the street side
and eat, not in his home, and that his family has
disappeared - that is the real disaster, the human
part of it." - Sadhguru
Tsunami Relief & Rehabilitation
Isha Foundation which already operated centers in
the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu was quick in its
response to the unprecedented and catastrophic
death and destruction caused by the tsunami on
26th December, 2004. In coastal areas of
Chidambaram and Cuddalore and the devastated
villages in Vellankovil and Nagapattanam,
thousands of Isha volunteers from all walks of
life tirelessly operated relief camps from the
very first day, offering food, shelter, quality
medical assistance and psychological relief to the
victims. Specially designed Isha Yoga classes were
also conducted to help those affected cope with
the disaster, through physically and
psychologically strengthening tools.
Personally participating in the relief and
rehabilitation programs, Sadhguru made several
visits to the affected areas -- closely directing
and overseeing the process. Eight Mobile Health
Clinics complete with their medical teams,
supplies and thousands of volunteers were
immediately moved from their project sites to the
coast and put at the disposal of the district
administration.
Subsequently, in close working with the district
administration, Isha Foundation adopted four
villages in Cuddalore district and completed a
model rehabilitation program that was highly
acclaimed by the beneficiary communities and the
state administration alike. In addition, Mobile
Health Clinics were permanently dedicated to
implementing the project Action for Rural
Rejuvenation in 60 coastal villages.
Isha Foundation delivered its first permanent
house to the victims within 30 days of the
disaster. The novel housing design developed
promptly by Sadhguru himself, was certified as
fire, earthquake, cyclone and tsunami proof by
various institutions. Further, a boat
manufacturing facility was set up on the premises
of Isha Yoga Center to respond to the urgent need
for fishing boats (the sole livelihood provider of
coastal villagers). Volunteer engineers and
professionals assisted to restore livelihoods lost
through the calamity.
A massive tree planting program and creation of a
green belt through Project Green Hands was also
undertaken and is ongoing in coastal villages
affected by the tsunami.

| Ontario SPCA Remarkable Rehabilitation Program: Lucky dog |
 |
Lucky, a seven month old lab-cross, was
surrendered to the Ontario SPCA on November 19,
2007. Lucky was diagnosed with three cervical
(neck) fractures and spinal trauma. He was also
malnourished, dehydrated and suffered from bed
sores. An animal cruelty investigation is ongoing
and charges are currently pending against a
Scarborough resident.
Lucky's initial prognosis was very guarded and he
was sent to Guelph University for immediate,
specialized care. He was placed in a half-body
cast to promote healing, reduce swelling and to
prevent further injury. Lucky's progress was slow,
but his survivor's spirit assured veterinarians
and the Ontario SPCA's staff that he was committed
to his recovery.
Lucky was transferred to the 404 Veterinary
Hospital for specialized rehabilitation. Under
their care, Lucky's recovery excelled. Lucky has
benefited from a multi-faceted physiotherapy
program, including specialized exercises and
hydrotherapy.
Contact the Ontario SPCA Provincial Office to help
fund Lucky's remarkable rehabilitation.
