Spoorthi activity @ Anand Ashram on 11th July 2010

Hi All,

Firstly my apologies for delay in sending this mail.

It was the first spoorthi activity planned for this year.

As Rathi celebrated his birthday, we {Sherry, Jo, Rathi, Jijo, Suri
and Kishore} assembled at the Anand Ashram (AA) on bannerghatta road
adjacent to HDFC bank close the dairy circle.

True to its name, Anand Ashram had happy people around.

Few school going kids and many elderly are housed at the AA.

Keen on knowing the purpose of our visit, the elderly gathered and
took the seats neatly arranged for them.

I briefed on the group and the activities that we have been doing over
the years.

As Rathi, cut the cake and all wished him heartily, he received a
beautiful bouquet made from the garden flowers at AA.

We looked around the place.

There were independent houses for few, and there were rooms shared by two.

The children had a mini library cum entertainment area.

The elderly spoke their heart out, blessed us all and wished that we
would visit them again.

With yet another successful spoorthi event to add to the accolades ,
we bid bye to AA, the happy place.

Signing off… Hoping to visit them all again in full number.

Total Expenses:

Rs.1500 - for a 2 burner gas stove that we donated

Rs. 2000 - for the Food (Chow chow bath), cake, Tea and biscuits.

Currently 10k is left in the fund. So guys lets plan out more of these
and make a difference in huge numbers.

Cheers to spoorthi.
Suresh Hatti.
