On this 15th Anniversary day of Recca Sewa Society  , we are handing over the Palliative Care Centre  constructed  at Government  PHC Kuttichal Trivandrum  in memory of Mr Jose Jacob ,  one of our  founding  members who bid  us farewell   last year on 19th Jan  2018 ..

We have achieved one more    milestone in the  services to our society. Today we have completed  and officially handed  over the keys of the palliative care centre at Kuttichal. This   is going to  provide great relief and help to the poor tribals suffering from terminally  ill diseases. ReccaSewa President Shri Chandrachoodan and Shri Potti   participated in the informal function held at 11: 30 Am . It being election time, to avoid any politicization,  we   decided  to forgo  the  official function.  Panchayat President Shri Manikanthan , Doctor Joy John and Recca Sewa President  Prof Chandrachoodan spoke on the occasion. Mr Narayan Potti   proposed the Vote of thanks

We sincerely express our great gratitude to all  members who   contributed to this noble cause and to Architect Ally Latheef who hasprovided the design and drawings .   We  express our sincere thanks  to Shri Rajan who has completed the construction activities within   a record time frame  of one and a half months and to Shri Hashim and Shri Potti who visited periodically  and reviewed  the progress of the project .

Though we are falling short of resources , we are sure that the shortfall will be covered within a short time with benevolent contribution by our members.   The successful completion of this   project has given  us courage and confidence  to venture into  similar projects in future.
