Spreading the sweetness of Makar Sankranti at Dattnagar Colony 🪁✨
On Wednesday, January 14th, we celebrated the festival of harvest differently. Lok Seva Sangam and came together in Mankhurd to distribute ration kits to 50 families affected by leprosy.
We were honored to be joined by esteemed leaders from the healthcare and social sectors who provided valuable guidance: Dr. Narayan Iyer (CEO, Akshay Shakti Foundation), Dr. Gaikwad Madam (Medical Officer, Leprosy Dept., Mumbai), Dr. Bavdekar Sir (Medical Officer, Leprosy Dept., Mumbai), Mr. Vishnu Chaudhary (N.M.A., Leprosy Dept., Mumbai), Mr. Swapnil Jadhav & Mr. Vinod Hiwale (Representatives, Lok Seva Sangam)
A special thank you to Mr. Sameer Makandar (Member, Dattnagar Leprosy Colony Committee) for compering the event and to the committee for the warm welcome.
During our interactions, we reviewed the current socio-economic conditions to plan for a better future. The goal is clear: Self-Reliance. We are now charting a path to provide livelihood training and employment opportunities for these families.
Because the true celebration lies in empowering one another. 🌱
