World Thalassemia Day Program:

On 2 May 2026, Free To Be Kids Charitable Trust, in association with the Rotary Club of Behala, organised a World Thalassemia Day awareness program at Srijani with 75 participants. The session, led by Dr. Siddhartha Chakraborty, educated youth about the causes, symptoms, and prevention of Thalassemia, emphasising the importance of early screening and premarital testing. An interactive discussion allowed participants to clarify their doubts and deepen their understanding of the genetic disorder. The program successfully increased awareness among young people and encouraged them to promote preventive health practices within their families and communities.
