Shillong, Oct 14: Pauline Warjri and her Aroha Choir will perform on October 19 at Soso Tham auditorium for raising find for patients of Dr. H Gordon Robert’s Hospital.
“The concert is being held for fund-raising in aid of the Person to Patient Fund of Dr. H Gordon Robert’s Hospital. The young singers of the Aroha Choir and featured guest artists endeavour to use their gifts and talents to help build society in every way”, Pauline told reporters on Monday.
This is also n honour of late AH Scott Lyngdoh, father of Pauline who in his lifetime wished to raise funds for the hospital.
“For a long time, it has been bothering us that we have so many poor people in the state who struggle to pay medical bills. Many have had to resort to selling land or have had to take out huge loans just to be able to put a loved one through hospital treatment. Just recently a young lady from West Khasi Hills suffered a stroke. A few days in the ICU have left her family in debt. There are endless stories like these. In the face of adversity; our conscience does not allow us to turn a blind eye to such suffering. We feel that the least we can do is to step out in faith and reach out to as many as will join hands with us to alleviate the suffering. In a small and humble gesture, we endeavour to use our musical gifts to raise funds for the “Poor Patient Fund” of the Robert’s Hospital, Pauline added.
