MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Friends we were deeply saddened with the graphic state of affairs we witnessed at MAHAD City yesterday, Houses & Shops destroyed, Businesses closed, Families displaced, Medical facilities runnning in chaos.  There were many Organisations & Individuals, Political & Non-Political who came forward to help curb the Crisis, but most were there for just Show and Pomp & then there were a few organisations like Lions Club of Poona Sarasbaug who were there to Serve Humanity. We were able to reclaim faith in Humanity amongst those in distress. Our efforts contributed to the most essential of things required to ease the distress, this was immediately recognised and highly appreciated by Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Aditi Tatkare who was present on Ground Zero and she immediately issued orders to her team that the Relief Material come from Lions Club of Poona Sarasbaug is to be despatched on #1 Priority, to highlight a few, our Water & Rice contribution was immediately directed towards Mangaon Tehsildar Office, we rushed there, where a huge kitchen was mocked up for preparation of food for the Flood affected, Clean Drinking water was highest on the essential list which our efforts served. 
Our contribution towards Blankets, Towels, Biscuits, Candles, Matchboxes, Sanitary Napkins,etc.. were rushed to the Camps set up, our contribution towards Phenyl were immediately dispatched to all Medical facilities.
For what it's all worth I am PROUD TO BE A LION and previleged to be amongst such great Humanitarian Friends. The fact that we were able to touch the lives of those in need is the greatest gratification I could have gained out of this and this gives me even a greater purpose to strive more for those Less Previleged.
