Condolences Our deepest condolences to Gira Mehta on the sad demise of her father. PARTICIPATION OF MEMBERS Note from Presidents: Ladies, we at Indus have always moved ahead on strength of our able and active members. As you are aware, we have 2 mandatory participations annually for all Active Members. This year we are asking for only 1 participation. Things are different in present scenario, where we on our part are not able to offer too many venues for active participation, due to online meetings on Zoom platform. On the other hand lot of venues have opened out to us where we can contribute for someone’s happiness and well-being. We have selected a Charity, where every member can contribute and earn their Participation. You can hence directly donate to them and forward us the details; else you can hand over your donation to any of the executive committee member with your name and membership number, OR reach out to anyone of the following: • Sandhya Vora • Amisha Himatsingka • Soledad Gramajo • Maria Bharwani • Sarita Agarwal CHARITY: Bolki Shala Conceptualized with the intention to convert the entire community into a learning platform, 'Bolki Shala' which means 'Speaking School' provides children access to not just education but essential life skills. In this a loudspeaker is installed in the community and prerecorded content is played by a community volunteer. We are seeking support for 200 loudspeakers for 200 schools in Palghar and Dahanu which will benefit approximately 10000 children. Each loudspeaker costs just Rs. 2000/- and would provide a lifetime of learning to children. This Festive Season light up the lives of these children (communities) by gifting them access to knowledge and learning.
