It was a pleasure to see happy faces that brightened our day.

It was a happy day for Capt. Correa, Allena and me (Athira) as we visited Jyothis Care Centre at Taloja. As promised to Sr Jisna and Sr Dinetia in our last visit, Anavi team had arranged for a manual Sewing Machine for the ladies. We also provided bedsheets and pillow covers to them.
