India Children in Crisis Update
Mr. Parimal Naik, the coordinator of the project from the Rotary Club of Gandevi, is happy that they have been able to serve about 90 children so far. In the coming weeks, they are planning to launch their mental health initiative to support children in processing their experiences and provide them with emotional support.
Parimal says, "The project is going smoothly, and the beneficiaries and their families are “speechless” at the generosity of our club."
Once again, we would like to thank our club for its support in helping this project exceed its fundraising goal!
