*Our First Outstation Project – A Journey of Purpose and Fellowship!* 

Our very first outstation project of the year was more than just a community outreach—it turned into a vibrant *celebration of purpose, fellowship, and collective joy.* What began as a planned initiative soon blossomed into a memorable experience that bonded us all, leaving behind smiles, laughter, and a renewed sense of commitment.

With 17 enthusiastic members coming together—from the ever-inspiring senior-most *Past Presidents Dhanalakshmi Gandhi and Shirley Lazarus to our youngest and most spirited ISO Firdaus—* the energy was infectious!

 

Together we created a synergy that made this journey truly special.

 

 *Wagachiwadi School in Igatpuri,* one of our cherished Happy Schools. True to our promise of continuing support, we reached out with love and care. The joy on the children’s faces as they received books, raincoats, shoes, and umbrellas was priceless. These small tokens meant the world to them, especially in the monsoon season, and reminded us how impactful even the simplest acts of kindness can be.

To top it all off, a wholesome, *lovingly sponsored lunch by PP Dhanalakshmi Gandhi* warmed every heart present. Looking at the pictures of children relish their meals with beaming smiles was the perfect end to a fulfilling day.

This wasn’t just a project—it was a heartfelt experience that reaffirmed our collective mission. It reminded us of the true *essence of Inner Wheel: service, friendship, and spreading happiness* —no matter where we go.

Here’s to many more such meaningful journeys together! 

Attended by *President Chahna Gandhi,* PP Dhanalakshmi Gandhi, PP Shirley Lazarus, PP Shilpa Bhartiya, PP Rupa Sen, PP Veena Thakkar, PP Jayshree Mody, PP Bhavna Shah, VP Jayshree Lakhotia, Firdaus, Pragati Ajmera, Sadhana , Pratibha, Urvashi Dharia, Usha Merchant, Jayashree Desai, and myself.
