MUMBAI CHAPTER

On the 3rd of Nov, just before the auspicious onset of Diwali, Anavi had funded for some exciting games and dinner at the Salam Baalak trust in Andheri.

In September, Anavi was made aware of 13 students who would lose their education because of non-payment of fees.

While we have taken many steps in the last few years towards reducing use of Plastic in our Office through the introduction of Stainless Steel Water Bottles at our work stations, Glass Bottles for our Guests and other such initiatives, we have realized that we cannot simply do away with Plastic . And all Plastic is not bad and we need plastic to also achieve a certain ecological balance.

Anavi members visited Sr Jisna, other Sisters and inmates at Jyothis Care Centre Taloja.

Anavi was proud to support the Indian Maritime University’s Mumbai, Port Campus faculty and students to organise a tree plantation drive at Badlapur, Mumbai.

The year 2020, started with a good note with many Activities happening during this period of time.
Navneet Foundation is a not-for-profit organization which has ambitious goals of working towards an impartial, humanitarian, and sustainable society in India.

Online line classes began and for those who could not afford to arrange for online classes, after school programs were put in place where in parents who feel comfortable sending the children to attend the after school program were provided study assistance and also were engaged with other activities like art and craft sessions too.

During the lockdown, in August we arranged to supply coffee powder, face mask, sanitizers & sanitizer stands.
We are looking forward to visiting them all but until then we are praying for each other and trusting God to clear the virus.

January: A few of us visited all our beloved elders this year on 16th January. They love to play housie and we made sure that they had a great time playing and winning gifts. Singing some old evergreen songs have always made them feel transported back to their era so we all sang some of their favourite songs and encouraged them to sing along. Certain essential supplies like health drinks & fruits were beautifully wrapped and delivered to the Sr. In charge Sr. Agnes.

The month of February 2020 will be remembered for two amazing activities that Anavi members were a part of. The first was the visit to Botanical gardens with the students of Cremers Foundation, Sarsuna.
