E.A.S.E. hosts Purple Day event’s in Telangana

March 25, 2018 – March 26, 2018

​On 25th March we have organized a Epilepsy Awareness Workshop for school teacher’s from the surrounding rural areas at Nizamabad (tier -2 city and a district headquarter of our state) around 125 miles from Hyderabad. A neurologist from a local hospital came to give a guest lecture for few minutes about epilepsy. He had to rush back as there was some emergency case.

After that I have shared my experiences and explained it to the teacher’s in local language to make them understand the facts by showing slides. Clearing all their doubts and also about the myths and superstitions which are associated to epilepsy. I have explained them about First Aid for seizures.

On 26th March we have organized an event in Hyderabad to the employees in the Hyderabad office of Dharma Solutions Inc. There was very good response from the employees. As they have came to know for the first time about the correct term of this neurological disorder is Epilepsy not Fits. They have all wore white dress to highlight the purple ribbon they wore to show that they support the cause of epilepsy awareness. We couldn’t arrange for a neurologist for this event as it was not finalized early. So, I have started the session by showing them the W.H.O. video Epilepsy: Treat it Defeat it. later on explained them about epilepsy in detail using few slides, First Aid and cleared few queries they had.
