Hearts Behind the Foundation: The Heart Whisperer

-

My association with Genesis Foundation began in 2024. I feel so blessed to be a part of such noble work that looks only at child heart treatment. An opportunity to create meaningful change in the world. Stepping into the lives of individuals and community and giving them the best you can. I am grateful that through this field I have the power to uplift those who are struggling or are in need, in ways either by giving my heart and soul to the project or to create avenues for donation to charity that I am involved with. My first visit to the hospital to see a 5 month old baby in terrible pain, but a smile on her face left me with a flood of emotions through my mind. Since my school days I have been inclined towards helping others and most importantly giving back to society. I had participated in different social events but never ever had given a thought of taking this on as a career.

He was three days old when he had his surgery, and here he was today, healthy and ready to conquer the world, already a fighter. Miracle baby  Rekha’s baby was born un...

Save Little Hearts- Experienced a Different Side of Kochi

When you think of Kochi, what comes to mind? A holiday involving backwaters, a wide array of aromatic spices, beaches, exploring Fort Kochi and indulging in a lip smacking South Indian cuisine.  This was my first time in Kochi, and I was exploring a different side. In my mind, something far more important, as I was about to give a piece of my heart away for a cause I truly believe in – Genesis Foundation. I was en-route to Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences.  Throughout my time at Genesis Foundation ( www.genesis-foundation.net ) I work with content, and every month there are a list of stories that I write of the souls of our foundation, our GF Kids. I try and feel for each child and the hardships they as well as their families face. But now I was prepping to make it a ground reality. I was about to meet over ten little lives, that we have saved.  As we arrived, we were greeted by a lovely, smiling Rinku who took us to meet with Dr Krishna Kuma...
