Jyothis Charitable Trust’s Care Centre @ KALAMBOLI
This branch of Jyothis shelters women with HIV / AIDS who are neglected by their families. These women spend their days doing daily chores and making decorative streamers / stars that are later sold. They are provided with regular health check and treatment. The centre has a Doctor’s cabin where in the doctor is available throughout the day from Mon – Fri. It also has a small Laboratory with a lab assistant . It was wonderful to see their faces light up with joy as we distributed sweets and colours for Holi since they missed celebrating the festival as there were a lot of visitors the previous day.
Jyothis Charitable Trust’s Care Centre @ Taloja
This branch of Jyothis shelters destitute women (those including aged and mentally unstable). On entering the lobby, we were greeted by a welcome song sung by these women. We spent some time with them in interaction, playing a game – passing the parcel and distributed snacks (their Favourite Vada Pav). They all were overjoyed on our visit and insisted us to come back soon in anticipation of spending more time with them and playing exciting games to brighten their day.
