PPCWA Holds Social Service Drive

ByPT Reporter

Goregaon’s Parsi Punchayet Complex Welfare Association (PPCWA) joined hands with the NIRU (Nobel Integration to Reach Unprivileged) Foundation to carry out a donation drive to spread awareness and provide holistic support for children suffering from cancer and their parents, by way of monthly workshops in arts and crafts for these kids, with the main objective of diverting their mind from the painful treatment. The creations are then sold and the proceeds are utilized towards medical / transportation support for the suffering children.

The PPCWA committee started the drive – from 10th – 23rd November – by donating forty-five white T-shirts and fifteen fabric colour sets for the children to paint, with the colony’s tots accompanying the committee members for donations, thereby inculcating a sense of social service amongst children.
