Determined to do something to ease the plight of the disadvan- taged, the Navy established a program through which donations of clothing, medical supplies, books, etc., from our country would be transported on Navy ships to the needy in foreign lands. Initially generated by a handful of Navymen working on their own during off-duty hours, the program has since evolved into an official and Navy-wide humanitarian endeavor. During our port visit to Bombay, India, WORDEN crewmembers h h had the opportunity to participate in Project Handclasp. Alt oug Project Handclasp is an official program, it is largely unfunded and is completely reliant on individuals, service and religious organiza- ' ' d d t tions and industry for donation of materials and money nee e o carry out its mission. On the first day, GMCCSWJ Mark Holliday, NCMSWJ Chris Parrish and STGCCSWJ Dan Montgomery met with a representa- tive of The Jai Vakeel School for Children in Need of Special Care, hool for the mentally handicapped. At a glance it was obvious a sc that they would be providing much needed technical expertise to ' ' ' f th restore and repair antiquated equipment. After a tour o e unds it was determined that the top priorities would be restora- gro tion of the children's playground area and repair of the plumbing. ' - -9 l d d the Early the next morning, volunteers from E 1 to E oa e many boxes of donations and supplies and headed for the school. A t' from the school's staff greeted WORDEN sailors. warm recep ion Without wasting time they quickly formed two teams and went to . . d f. work. One team replaced pipes, plugged leaks, and tightene it- d h ond team sanded primed and painted the play- tings, an t e sec , ground equipment with bright cheerful colors. Lunch time rolled around quickly and the staff presented a deli ' al consisting of many native dishes. With a room full of cious me hungry sailors, there were no leftovers. After lunch work was re- l d. E ne sumed and shortly before dusk, the task was comp ete veryo thered around to donate the 951,000 to the school which was then ga collected prior to entering port. The work completed and the contri- butions of money and supplies were greatly appreciated by the school. As the volunteers departed, they left with a warm feeling of h' hared and returned, and a sense of having taken part in fellows ip s a worthy cause, helping the less fortunate. Project Handclasp was a huge success. 65 ri ' Q,
