RCB brings change to Vavar school
On June 23rd, 2024, the Rotary Club of Bombay continued its mission to transform rural India by inaugurating the Integrated School Development Project at Vavar Ashramshala, Jawhar Taluka, Palghar, Maharashtra. The project was supported by Indian Oxides and Chemicals Pvt. Ltd.
Led by President Manoj Patodia, the group, which included donors, Rotarians, and friends, embarked on a five-hour drive on Sunday morning to share in the joy of the tribal female students who attend the Ashramshala from Std. I to X. Despite the scorching heat and challenging conditions, the group was warmly welcomed by the students, who were dressed in their finest and expressed their gratitude through dance and music for the life-changing support from RCB and the donors.
Interacting with the teachers and students and understanding how this initiative has transformed their lives reinforced our belief in the project’s sustainability and viability. It also inspired us to continue pursuing sustainable rural development, with a focus on solar power.
In this initiative, RCB, with the support of donors, has positively impacted over 198 female tribal students residing at the Ashramshala. The Ashramshala now benefits from a solar water heating system and solar street lights. Additionally, a 1 HP solar pumping system for water and a 6 KW solar off-grid system for electrification have been installed, bringing about a comprehensive transformation.
On the return journey, despite their exhaustion, the team remained energised by the belief that this project, which benefits so many, would always have their support as it continues to embody the Rotary motto of Service Before Self.
