Recently, our Club celebrated the spirit of Diwali with the vibrant street children of the Salaam Baalak Centre at Chowpatty.
Members of Rotary Club of Bombays’ Child Welfare Committee brought the festive joy alive with crackers, sweet treats, milkshakes, chocolates, and an abundance of chips!
The event was filled with warmth as Committee Chairman, Rtn. Vandan Shah, and Co-Chair, Rtn. Rajesh Shah, engaged with the children, asking them about the daily nutrition provided by RCB.
The children shared stories of how much they cherish the hot meals RCB provides, often their only filling meal of the day. Their smiles and laughter lit up the gathering as they danced and enthusiastically shared stories of their lives.
Members of the Satellite Club, Suditi and Meha Shah, along with Rtn. Ami Jagtiani, distributed treats, while Rtn. Meher Vakil brought 500 snack packs to keep the Diwali cheer going for the whole month. Meher also discussed new ways to enhance the children’s nutrition through breakfast and evening snacks, making plans for an even brighter future.
Adding to the joy, the children enjoyed learning about America from Rotary Partner Matt, whose presence made the day even more special.
A heartfelt afternoon spent with 45 amazing children, this event was a reminder of the difference a caring community can make. Our thanks to the trustees of Salaam Baalak Centre for their hospitality and for creating a warm, welcoming space for this beautiful Diwali celebration.
