Mother's meeting

On Saturday,25th June 2011 monthly mother's meeting of Matrusangharsh was held at 2:30 pm at Ganesh Mandir hall in Tatya Tope Nagar. The attendance of mothers was less as compared to earlier meetings. Our social worker says, it might be because we changed the venue for this meeting. Anyway, the main topic was regarding the agenda of the meeting, timing and format. Few mothers felt that, there has to be some thing which can relax the mothers since they are under stress continuously. Some members said there can be a entertainment item, few of them did not agree for this. There were few for yoga exercises for relaxation also.

Another topic which was discussed was of Rakhi sale. Every year members of Matrusangharsh help in selling Rakhi. Rakhi Rehab unit is one of our most successful rehabilitation activity. This unit is making profit consistently since last more than ten years. It is a financially independent unit and contribution of volunteers is also very large at every stage, right from designing to packing and selling.

There is another way in which Matrusangharsh members support SSS. They have been collecting News paper scrap and after selling it, the amount is donated to SSS. It is a monthly contribution to SSS.
