CybageAsha 2nd year celebration

CybageAsha 2nd year celebration was with Phadke kaka-kaku's children. (Kaka: Uncle in Marathi, Kaku: Aunt in Marathi). The couple aged around 70 years, are taking care of slum and under privilaged kids of the society (17 kids as of today). Special thanks to Gauri whole introduced us to Kaka-Kaku.

" Empty mind is a devils warehouse"
25years back when Kaku noticed that the ShivajiNagar slum areas kids used to waste there time out and least interest in education will eventually lead a uncultured life. Kaku initiated on taking care of slum children, who parents cannot take care or finance their kids education. Kaku is putting in effort to teach kids, educate them and so that they can grow up to be a better citizens. She with great support from Kaka is continuing this effort since last 25 years.

About the Nanded trip:
Every year once or twice, kaka-kaku take this kids for a trip. They had some funding and hence decided on taking the kids to Nanded, where they plan to visit a institution which take care of orphan and remand-kids. The institute in Nanded handles around 300 kids. Kak-Kaku kids plan to take a along some gesture of love to the kids out there, a greeting card or handkercief, which will be decorate by them

CybageAsha stepped-in here and took-up the job of help this kids in preparing the Greeting cards and painting the handkerchief. This way we interacted with the kids, and we understand their likes and interests. As a gesture of our love we took the kids to a dinner party on 15th Oct to Jayshree gardens, Tilak Roads. The dinner was great fun and kids and the CybageAsha gang loved it a lot.

Along with this CybageAsha also plans to fund a small amount of their Nanded trip.
