A Very Happy New Year 2022 to one and all .
As we come to the end of this year 2021 , I would like to thank alot of people who have supported me in my dream of rehabilitating homeless street people in Goa .
One in a few millions have such a complicated, yet possible and highly achievable dream .
Infact right from Feb 2020 till Dec 2021 , its been a VERY tough time for alot of NGO – both Society & Trusts, especially raising resources and holding on to manpower.
Look at this poster attached with this post .
It's this team , which practically has been working non stop last 2 years under all circumstances including both the waves of covid
♡♡ Centre : Sapnesh Salgaonkar ,Operation Manager
( the man who operates the entire operation)
♡♡ Left : Joanita Pinto , Trustee
( takes care of our entire back operation )
♡♡ Left : Orlando Mesquita , Volunteer & benefactor
( takes care of our Cavelossim home & all our maintainance works in South Goa )
♡♡ Left : Akash Pednekar , Unit Incharge
( takes care of our Quepem home)
♡♡ Right : Adv Caroline Collasso , Trustee
( takes care of our Legal work & Trouble shooter cum mentor )
♡♡ Right : Sudarshan Chari , Unit Incharge
( takes care of our Porvorim home )
♡♡ Right : Douglas Pinto , Unit Incharge
( takes care of our Assnora home )
Everything and anything in our Ngo goes through this team , co ordinated by Sapnesh Salgaokar.
☆☆ Well my job, is taking care of our :
Accounts office & Administrative office , which are in Porvorim & Sangolda run by two dedicated staff , Mrs Tanaya & Miss Tanvi .
♡♡ Our ladies home at Calangute is run by Sr Lilian , FMCK & our other ladies at Guirim is supported by Mrs Josephine from Amazing Grace.
But here at Street Providence , between Feb 2020 till date ie Dec 2021 , something superficial , wonderful and blessed things happened.
God in his kindness and Grace , provided us resources, manpower , volunteers, you name it God provided and that how we are doing the best we are called to do .
Everything God provided which was beyond our expectations and God took care of all our needs, full measure , pressed down, shaken togther , running over.
If there is or was any lack in this year 2021 , it's
” we could and should have taken off more homeless people but space was the constraint “.
We ran some incredible programs ,
☆ Opened new homes ,
☆ Fed hundreds of people daily ,
☆ Distristrubed close to Rs 50 lacs dry ration ,
☆ Took off the streets hundreds of homeless,
☆ Etc .
And this is due to TEAM WORK & not a one man show .
We all heard this term ” OPPOSITE ATTRACTS “.
Well it's absolutely true term .
All the team members in the poster and in the offices are cool , calm & relaxed.
And most know me , always in a hurry .
But it's all about TEAM WORK & HARD CORE COMMITMENT.
Once again I Thank this core team who have stood by me .
Like this team , there are another 8 such teams consisting of 3 to 4 members each who take instructions from this core team.
Inspite of the new variant looming around in the start of 2022 , i am rest assured God's favour , protection , hand will always be on our NGO as we believe we are CALLED & CHOSEN to reach out to the homeless and hungry across Goa through various new projects planned for the year 2022.
