Project 1 -“Annadaan”
PPF had been looking for some way to bring smiles on the faces of street children on the occasion of Diwali. We could accomplish this by joining hands with another organization “Sai Prasanna Foundation” who had arranged such an event on 8th October 2017 at Tulsi Manas Hindi School, Parel, Mumbai.
More than sixty-five children from different localities had assembled at the venue. They all were cheerful and delighted. They sang songs and performed dances. These children were looking very excited since their performances were appreciated, and they were given sweets, biscuits and fruit juices. It was very satisfying to see smiles on their faces.
