<p>To spread awareness on organ donation, a kidney transplant recipient Rasika Prasad hosted a photowalk in the city on April 28 at Sankey Tank, Malleswaram.</p>.<p>Rasika had her surgery in 2015; she received the kidney from her brother Rahul Prasad. She took to writing and developed an interest in photography during her recovery from the surgery.</p>.<p>She shares her story, “I started a website when I was still under recovery, three years ago, to raise awareness about my journey. When I knew that I had to get surgery, I<br />wanted to read up about it. Since it is difficult to understand a doctor’s lingo, I wanted to know the patient’s perspective. When I surfed the internet, I didn’t find anything, and I decided to blog about my experiences. I try my own little ways to do spread awareness.” </p>.<p>It was last year that she decided to conduct a photowalk to meet, build a network and spread awareness. She chose April for the annual event because that is the month she had the surgery.</p>.<p>The first photowalk had 20 participants, and this year, Rasika was thrilled to have had about 42 people participate.</p>.<p>She adds, “Since there was a huge turnout this year, I am planning to make the next photowalk bigger.”</p>.<p>To follow Rasika’s works, visit www.rasamsambar.com</p>
