I would like to begin with a comment arising out of a remark made by our Prime Minister on the Naandi Foundation which studied Hunger and malnutrition. It found that a shamefully high percentage of children in India were malnourished and stunted. Our nourishment programme aimed at correcting this situation appears to be succeeding. We recently studied the Body Mass Index (BMI) of every child at the Pre School Programme and found that every one of them without exception has grown their BMI over their period with us, many of them significantly. |

Sonali Shahane, Daughter of
Mrs. Sangeeta Shahane, Gurgaon, did a fund raising campaign to raise funds for the society during the Delhi Half Marathon in November. She raised over Rs. 15,000 to help the Society. This was an exciting experience for her and most hear-warming news for us. It shows us how even very young people can contribute. An interview of her by her friend Noyonika Gupta (Class 8th Student) can be viewed by Clicking Here! This annual event will take place again in November 2012 and we would like to hope that other young volunteers would emulate.
