AFTER THE OPENING EVENT OF RCB’S ALCOHOL ERADICATION PROGRAMME FOR THE VAIDU COMMUNITY on July 13th, 2022, daily classes began with Anum Foundation volunteers present at the centres from 2 to 4 pm from Monday to Friday, at both Jogeshwari and Marol centres.
Also present were volunteers from Alcohol Anonymous, AL ANON FAMILY GROUPS, Holy Family AGF, and Jeevan Jyoti ÀFG who visited the centre to motivate groups from the community. The timetable for men is 6 to 8 pm and for women timetable is from 3 to 4 pm.
The Vaidu community thanks Rotary Club of Bombay and Rotary Club of Addiction Prevention. Without your support this wonderful initiative would not have happened.
