I would like to use this opportunity to thank all sponsors and members of MMRT 3 and MMLC4 who came forward to support us. As every drop makes an ocean, the devotion and dedication of the entire team to mobilise resources and organise things to put together 3500 provisional kits is not an easy task. Further she added, “this project is very close to my heart as ‘feed the needy’ initiative has been our mission and I consider myself to be truly blessed to be a part of this initiative.”
Mr. Rahul Chabbria, Chairman, Madras Mylapore Round Table India 3, said, “We are extremely delighted that our efforts have been recognised on a global platform for marking the highest number of provision kit distributed in one single day.
