9th Anniversary Celebrations – Annual Blood Donation Camp

“A single pint of blood can save 3 lives; a single gesture can bring a million smiles.”

Since its inception, in 2009, Anavi has made many such gestures to bring a smile to the underprivileged of the society. And there was no better way to celebrate our 9th Anniversary than The Annual Blood Donation camp.

This year, like every year, the blood donation camp was held in association with the Thakurpukur Cancer hospital. The blood is used for the cancer patients who find it hard to afford the treatment. Anavi is proud to be associated with such a noble cause and lend a helping hand. Over the years, this event has always brought a lease of life to many young cancer patients and smiles to their families.

Visit to Jyothis Care Centre

Venezia and I visited Jyothis Care Centre at Taloja on Wednesday, 13th June. We were welcomed very warmly by the Sisters and the inmates, who were eagerly expecting us. The care centre is located in a 1 acre land and is neatly maintained.

Sr. Jisna told us that there are 23 inmates currently, most of them mentally challenged. They are under medication and are calm most of the time, but they do get a bit unsettled at times. Medicines are regularly provided by volunteers.

Multiple Visits May-2018

ANAVI has always been a great selector in terms of diverting attention to the needy. A month back it diverted the attention to Seva Old age home where two homes operate under its flagship. After evaluating the condition and the scenario over there, it was decided by the members to visit the place and provide the needful things as the home was lacking in resources. In lieu of this, the members visited the place and distributed 40 pieces of bed sheets and nighties to the inmates of the two old age homes. The gifts delighted the heart of the inmates and provided a great satisfaction to the soul of the members. Since the condition was very shabby, it needed an urgent action and the members did it successfully.
