Mission 5 and 6 - Ashram at Kothimbe

I am happy to inform you that mission 6 of Do+ movement was accomplished on 24th July 27, 2010.

This time team was myself, Tausif and Jaijeet (newly joined members) and Mr. Mutha, who is actively involved with the ashram activities. On Saturday, 24th July, we went to Kothimbe. It is a half an hour drive from the city of Karjat (Raigad district). We met the caretakers and children there. We had a little change in our plan. On the same day, some group from Mumbai agreed to provide uniforms for all the children. Hence, caretaker requested for other essentials.

With the collected funds, we have helped for following items ( Total : Rs 5900 )

1. Innerwear – for 41 Children ( Rs. 3850 )
2. 9th Std books – 4 Sets ( Rs. 1400 )
3. 11th Std books – Marathi and English book ( Rs. 170 )
4. Long Notebooks – 3 dozens ( Rs. 480 )


We bought these items at Karjat and handed over to the caretaker.

We really had nice time with the children. We spend close to 2 hours with them. Some of them gave impromptu performances.

Apart from the satisfaction from overall activity, we could enjoy beautiful nature throughout the journey ( it was raining all the way), food prepared on chulha at ashram and mouthwatering vadapav/tea at Karajt. (Checkout snaps attached)

Thanks a lot for contributing to this initiatives and helping to create positive impact on their lives.
