Wedding Anniversary

Receiving a new heart from Gift of Life

The seven-year-old star of an

award-winning Indian film earned his

role not because of a screen test, but a

medical test. Rishikanta, who had two holes in his

heart, underwent open-heart surgery,

sponsored by the Rotary Club of Imphal,

in 2009. Last year, his story, titled Heart to Heart, won for Best

Science and Technology Film in the National Film Awards,

India's equivalent to the Academy Awards. “Miracles do happen,” says executive producer

Radhesyam Oinam, a member of the Imphal club. At a

September ceremony, India's president, Pratibha Devisingh

Patil, presented him with the honor. The genesis of Heart to Heart was Imphal Rotarians'

decision to document one of their projects: providing treatment

to children with congenital heart defects whose families

couldn't afford corrective surgery. More than 180,000 babies

are born with such defects annually in India, and one-third

require treatment within their first year. Members of the Imphal

club, located in the far northeastern state of Manipur, raised

funds to send children to New Delhi, 1,500 miles away, for

surgery. “Pediatric heart care is costly and rare in Manipur,”

Oinam says. Open-heart surgery costs about US$5,000 – an

impossible sum for a family like Rishikanta's, who survive on

$25 a month. In September 2009, the first three children underwent

operations through the project, and as of August 2011, the club

had sponsored 47 recipients. Last year, Gift of Life in Delhi,

part of an international organization founded by Rotarians to

provide free medical services to children with heart conditions,

began sponsoring youth from Manipur. Participating hospitals

provide the surgeries at half the usual cost. The 37-minute film is helping the club spread the word

about congenital heart defects. “We had no intention of

winning awards or anything of the sort,” Oinam says. “We

wanted people to know what we were doing.” Vicky Wallace, of the Rotary Club of Lake Elsinore,

California, USA, saw a screening in 2009 while she was in

Imphal for a district conference. “When the movie was over,

several people came forward and committed funds to help with

more surgeries,” she recalls. “I was never more proud to be a

Rotarian.” The film, which was released in 2010, also has increased

awareness of Rotary in India. “In Manipur, we are known as

'the heart people,'” says Pramod Kumar Chhabra, president of

the Imphal club. “It has improved our image in our state.” The club's relationship with Rishikanta did not end with his

surgery. Before the procedure, his illness kept him from

attending school, but today, the Imphal Rotarians are

sponsoring his education. Chhabra reports that the young

student is earning good grades.
