A memorable day with the experience of Life !

30th March 2012:


A beautiful day spent by over 25 FFC volunteers with the inmates of "Shantibhavan", a home for old, aged and challenged. They all celebrated this experience of life with the inmates there, had small talks with them, did some cake cutting and experience sharing with them.

If you ever want to touch one life then,
 try living one life, "just for a day",
try bringing a smile, "just for a day",
try celebrating life, "just for a day"!!!!

The World Environment Day Celebrations by FFC

05th June 2010:

@ Nagpur

Go Green!! Save Trees!! These are the words which are echoing every where when people in every part of this world are facing the wrath of mother nature is some or the other form ,be it floods in deserts or draughts in wetlands, record breaking temperatures ,earth quakes tsunamis and so on. Adding our sound it, we here at FFC on the occasion of The World Environment Day on 5th of June 2010 organized an awareness programme in association with Nagpur Municipal Corporation at Children’s Traffic Park. NMC standing committee Chairmen Sandeep Joshi was the chief guest accompanied with Baba Maind, corp orator of the ward.

A small animated documentary was shown along with presentations by FFC volunteers. The families and youth coming to the park were made aware of their responsibilities. Not missing the opportunity, our enthusiastic volunteers of FFC interacted with the children who were the major part of the visitors in the park. They were told about the importance of environment and how it should be care for. Along with this sapling were distributed to every one.

The following day we were at the Japanese Garden. The day being Sunday we got to interact with lots of people and distributed more saplings and urged them to care for the environment and how they could help us in doing that. We even planted with few saplings along with The Laughter Club at Japanese Garden. As our name goes “Friends For Care” we were successful in adding our bit to the much needed care for our ever so caring Mother Nature.

FFC cheers Shantibhavan inmates

FFC volunteers visited the Shantibhavan old age home located on Katol Road. The volunteers spent time with the elders residing there. The elders were in for a surprise as the volunteers had brought with them a carom board. Quite a few of the residents joined in and played a few games of carom all of which were one by one man! The carom board was left there so that the residents could kill time.

In order to provide relief from the heat of Nagpur FFC volunteers arranged for rounds of Nimbu Soda- a refreshing change for the residents who thoroughly enjoyed the cold drink along with the Channa Pooha!



The volunteers also talked at length with the residents all of whom were very happy to have people who were willing to listen to them. FFC volunteers also gave soap and some other essential utilities that the Shantibhavan authorities had asked for.

The visit reinforces the FFC belief that all people have their own set of needs and problems and that we must look after our elders the same way we look after the children!!

FFC Deaf n Dumb School Visit, Under Project Khushi

 

Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, A.R. Rahman, Bon Jovi, Green Day, Hello, Hi…..All these words mean something to most of us. Who doesn’t have a favorite colour, who doesn’t like sweet sound of music, who doesn’t like warm expressive “hello”s and “hi”s. We all strive to live an ideal life in this real world. But in this process we may distance ourselves from reality with time and forget how gifted we are to live the life we are living.

In another weekend encounter with reality our team of FFC had been the Rajiv Gandhi School for…It was sunny Sunday morning when we left and reached after a drive of about 2 hrs. We were welcomed by the principal of the school and other staff members. We had an interactive meeting with them where we were informed about the school and the students there. We enquired about the problems faced by them what we all could do to make life better for students there. Then we met the students. 

There were about 50 to 60 students of age group ranging from around 8 to 25 who came from various places in Vidarbha. Among these some could not see anything, some who could not hear and speak, some who had some other deformities that made normal life difficult for them. But yet they were happy, there enthusiasm was seen on there face and there actions. 

We had a really nice interactive session with the children there. Some who were not gifted with sight sang songs, some who could not hear or speak made some really good drawings. And others were happy playing games or talking and getting clicked with us.. We distributed some food and utility packets and some blankets to all. The delight was to be seen on there faces. The main agenda of our visit was to meet the children and have good time with them which we had to the most. Thus were successful in adding some colours of idealism in the painting of reality.

Place of Visit- Katol Deaf and dumb School

Date- 17^th Feb 2010

Donation- In kind, Food and Utility packets, blankets.
