Chennai: In an ongoing outreach to empower the community to save lives during emergencies, Alert, a NGO that works towards a better emergency care eco system in India, signed MoU with the Lions Club international District 324-A1 to collaborate in the effort.
A statement said the programs will be delivered to the members of the clubs in the district, their families, Leos and to the adopted colleges, villages and others from the larger community.
With the need of the hour to also embrace the new normal due to the Covid pandemic, the MoU will also enable the outreach of a program titled ‘Be Alert’, specifically designed for individuals and organisations to embrace safety as a culture in day to day life.
V M Muralidharan, chairman, Alert, said “the goal given to us by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam to train one in every family is profound and mammoth and it is such collaborations that gives wings to the initiative, taking us closer to the goal through the programme rightly titled ‘Right to Life’.”
Lions Club district governor P V Prakash Kumar said, “we see this collaboration as a significant one to empower common people to save lives”.
