Sri Vinodh Rayal, an engineer by profession and an avid social worker since childhood has organized many social activities like education programmes, helping the disabled, organizing blood donation camps through Pawan Kalyan Fans Association. He also secured an admission for his Masters and was about to leave to USA for further education in a week before his death. He was working at Bangalore and was in the process of shifting back to his native place, Tirupati, to spend a week with his parents before leaving to US.

While in Bangalore, some of the fans had organized an awareness session on organ donation in Kolar near Bangalore. He had actively participated in the program and had actively campaigned on behalf of Pawan Kalyan Fans Association and has pledged to donate organs and tissues during the camp and has also pleaded all the fans to pledge and campaign for organ and tissue donation.

After finishing the program, though it was late, he wanted to go back to Tirupati. While on his way back to meet his parents, he was brutally murdered in an altercation while having dinner at a Dhaba near Kolar. His family came forward to donate his eyes as it was his last wish to donate organs and tissues. Knowing this, Sri Pawan Kalyan (prominent movie actor) had visited Vinodh’s home and expressed his condolences to the family of Sri Vinodh Rayal and had announced support to Vinodh Rayal Memorial Charitable Trust. Sri Pawan Kalyan has also been recently appointed as the brand ambassador for organ and tissue donation in Andhra Pradesh (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/amaravati/pawan-kalyan- appointed-as- jeevan-dhaan-brand-ambassador/articleshow/59846596.cms ).

Sri. Sagi Sivaji, 36 years old, an energetic, humble and helpful person, loved by everyone, an employee of Vasudha Pharmaceuticals met with an accident while returning home. He was immediately taken to Apollo Hospital Vishakhapatnam for treatment but despite of providing the best treatment, he could not recover from the injuries that he succumbed during the accident. He was declared brain dead by the doctors of Apollo Hospital, Vishakhapatnam.

His friends and family members contacted counsellors of MOHAN Foundation and despite of being in grief, they were explained about the inevitability of brain death and have come forward to donate his organs and corneas on July 01, 2017. His liver, two kidneys, heart and lungs, two corneas were harvested and were given to patients suffering from organ failure through Jeevandan Scheme by the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

We salute the members of his family and friends (Sri. Murali and other employees of Vasudha Pharmacy) for taking this noble decision of donating Sri. Sivaji’s organs and corneas. The family members expressed that they feel proud of the decision taken though nothing can bring Mr. Sivaji back, but they are happy that he could give some people a second chance to live and two people sight.

The idea of organ donation has come to the minds of the family members and friends of Sri. Sagi Sivaji as all the employees participated in the organ donation awareness activities conducted by Vasudha Foundation in association with MOHAN Foundation.
