It was a wonderful and enjoyable day for our SHG women of Laura Vicuna Niwas. The day began with a procession of the guests and guest of Honour as well as the speaker of the day,accompanied by the SHG women. An interfaith prayer moment followed wherein passages from the different Holy books such as Koran, Bhagwat Gita and Holy Bible were read,after which the Kathak dance was performed. Theguests were felicitated by gifting them shawls and flowers. Five women who bravely faced all odds and difficulties to educate their daughters and secure their future, were felicitated. Then the guests expressed their views and conveyed their good wishes for the day. 
A vegetable vendor named Mrs. Baby Gaikwad whose love for books made her save Rs. 5 each day to purchase a book and increase her knowledge and be updated about social issues, was one of the esteemed guests. She started the “Haldi Kum Kum” programme for widows and had to face a lot of opposition but did not give up.She is a respected figure today in social circles and goes around giving talks and making people and women aware of their rights. Resource persons like this personality spoke to the women who in turn were deeply touched and motivated.
The women then put up a cultural programme after which lunch was sponsored by Mr. Kumar Walke our Nagar Savek. Thanks to all our benefactors and well wishers because of whom we could organize such a wonderful womens’ day celebration. Our sisters also took part in this programme offering their encouragement and support. May God bless them all.
