Celebrating Friendship Week with The Maa Sharanam Orphanage

At RedAlkemi we decided to celebrate Friendship Week this year in a special and unique way by contributing in kind to the Maa Sharanam Orphanage. The entire staff participated in the donation drive held for a duration of one week from 28^th July - 1^st Aug ‘08. Everybody displayed a high enthusiasm level towards this productive activity and we collected loads of goodies like Stationary, Eatables, Clothes, Books, and much more!

Thereafter the Redalkemi HR Team delivered the collectibles to the Maa Sharanam Orphanage at Mohali Sector 70 where Mrs. Kalpana Ghai an active member of Maa Sharanam informed us about the place being temporary and given by a volunteer till they could collect sufficient funds to arrange for a home for the homeless kids.

The children were thrilled and gazed at us in amazement while we offloaded the stuff from our car. They all gathered in a big hall where we placed the three big donation boxes.

For one of the kids, Neeraj it was a very special occasion being his birthday. So there we were, singing the Birthady Song in chorus for the little one, whose excitement knew no bounds! Pictures were clicked to capture all the fun and excitement on the smiling faces. All the kids were so cute especially the two adorable 4yr olds, Muskaan and Kaajal who completely stole our hearts.

We ended the day with a thanksgiving bhajan from the children…that lingered on in our hearts as we left the orphanage with cherished memories and a sense of fulfillment of having done something really worthwhile.
