Lots of joy and excitement on the children faces and the inmates in the Hospitals
We covered the two main hospitals so that the entire staff is reminded that our NGO takes care of homeless people who might need a place to recover once discharged from hospital.
We reached out to 400 rural school children In
Mayem Constituency in 3 government schools with the help of The Local MLA Mr Shet who himself came along with our team members with Kit Kat & noodles.
At Sanguem , with the assistance of Minister for Social Welfare, Mr Subhash, we reached to 500 school children in 2 Schools.
Infact we went right into the most rural school of Goa in NETRAVALI where 260 students study as well as to 240 students @ Curdi Sanguem
The trip from Sangolda to Netravali one way was 95 kms , quite long but worth the trip.
Traveling from Sanguem town to Netravali is about 30 kms one way enroute through refreshing greenery and forest Cover.
Two of our food bank partners ie Udant & Zindagi Ngos too were requested to distribute Kit Kat & noodles to Slum children & HIV infected children respectively.
If any food manufacturing company or any FMCG distributors in Goa have excess packaged food to give away before expiry date then please contact our FOOD BANK.
We work with the poorest of the poor & the most deserving sections of Society in Goa.
God bless you all
