Fun Masks For Lighthouse Kids

ROTARY CHILDREN ISHA AND TIA BHATNAGAR ENCOURAGE LIGHTHOUSE KIDS TO WEAR MASKS BY ARRANGING COLOURFUL, CHILD FRIENDLY AND FUN MASKS FOR THEM!

A recent Forbes article estimated that India needs 38 million masks just for healthcare workers, out of which we have procured only nine million up until a few months ago. With a population of 1.3 billion, one can only shudder to think how many more masks we would need to protect all our citizens. Perhaps one cannot immediately provide a mask to every single citizen, but we can do our bit to ensure we protect as many people as we can.

With this sentiment in mind, GiveBack Foundation raised money and donated 100 masks to the children of the Lighthouse Project managed by Rotary Club of Bombay. The masks are reusable and washable, so they can be used for longer periods of time. We hope that this small effort will make the lives of a few children safer.

Isha and Tia, daughters of our Rtn. Vineet and Rtn. Ptn. Rangita Bhatnagar are associated with the Giveback Foundation and are now arranging masks for the elderly of the Ananda Yaan project.

Child Welfare Committee of RCB thanks Isha and Tia for their thoughtfulness and commitment in seeing it through.
