Dear Friends,
As planned, our DI Chennai team along with my friends from TCS- Morganstanley visited the old age home Kaakum Karangal at Thiruvanmiyur last evening.We served Veg Biryani, Raitha, Panner Butter Masala and Bananas to all 43 inmates of the home. We had many of our friends from far off places, even like Anna Nagar, join us y'day.
Hari, back in India, was the first one to reach KK. Soon, Bala and Parthy joined him. As soon as we had Hariharan, Anand, Sajitha, Rajashree, Chris, JP, Elavarasi, Vimala and myself there, we started with the prayer session. Soon after this, each of us started serving dinner.
We took note of the concern of a few that food was spicy. [ We had obviously requested food to be less spicy and oily ]. Overall, the evening was very special that most of us spent a lot of time compared to earlier visits discussing with the inmates. There was also a request to perform cultural programs etc for them during the next visit. We would be planning for the same soon.
Starting this month, this project would be officially executed as Dream India E&C Trust's project. We would issue receipts to donors, make project report and collect all the bills too. Attached the project report for this event.
