HYDERABAD, AUG. 31. A committee, comprising prominent citizens, has been constituted to monitor and supervise the financial activities of the Little Hearts Foundation, which was formed by the CARE Hospital to provide succour to children born with heart defects. Addressing a press meet here on Tuesday, B. Soma Raju, Chairman, CARE Hospital, said the Foundation, which was launched with a personal donation made by the President, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, had received support from all sections of society. "The Foundation raised money that was far beyond our expectations, but still is not fully sufficient to address the enormous task," he said.
