FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK December 2023

Winter has come. The first thing that comes to our mind is the miseries of our Pavement Dwellers and the suffering  of the people of Low Income Group during the chilled winter . Since the onset of a world wide pandemic and subsequent  downfall of The world  economy, the homelessness has become an important issue.  In fact, the pavement dwellers  and the underprivileged people are amongst the most deprived section in urban areas  . In terms of living conditions, access to basic facilities and health infrastructures , this section people  is worst affected . Our problem is that we can not reach these poorest sections of society in an organised manner  because of their scattered presence in different  locations of the cities .In chilled winter we only can try to reach them through our beneficiary NGOs . These  NGOs deal with so many acute problems like caring for abandoned children , rescuing street children and even giving shelter  to the missing young boys and girls or the orphan pavement dwellers . They provide these unfortunate people with food , shelter  and complete  medical assistance.  So by  supporting them  , GBS constantly trying to prove  that  if Winter  comes Spring can not be far behind.

 

Throughout the month of November we have successfully completed our fulfilment plans. The requirement of Old Age Home , ABWU was monthly Groceries which we have given on time. Three ceiling fans and one mounted fan were provided to Welfare Society for the Blind as par their monthly requirement.

 

Though we work for our beneficiary NGOs, still in this matter , the most constructive and important part is played by our generous donors. This month the  most  significant donation was made  by  Mrs.Sunanda Sen as a   tribute to the  elders of her family. She arranged for an elaborate and delicious lunch for forty  inmates of Prabartak Samgha  Home. This sumptuous lunch along with  new  Puja Clothes for all, have filled the hearts of all the children with joy and happiness. All the children we are talking about, are homeless  and  many of them  are handicapped in different  ways . We convey our loads of thanks and heartfelt gratitude to Mrs.Sunanda  Sen.

 

In our journey to bring happiness to the  have-nots, the Corporate sector has already extended their hands for support.  CGM , Indian Bank, Kolkata has approved 5 numbers of Wheel Chairs @ Rs 7000 each for Asha Niketan . We are extremely grateful to the Indian Bank for this noble work .

 

At the end of my note , I am wishing all a very Happy New Year ahead . Hope the New Year will see a new dawn. Let a happy and smiling child embrace another forgetting the petty differences.

 

Yours sincerely ,

Anindita Roy.
