It was a touching day. The children, who have only seen their guardians as their Parents and Teachers both, had DIYA Pune to share their divine love with. We paid yet another visit to the orphanage “Sanmati Baal Niketan” (Cared by Sindhu Tai Sapkaal ‘Mai’), on 5th September, 2010 “Teachers’ Day”. Sindhu Tai was also present during our visit there. We shared love with children, had food with them and taught them few good things.                                                    

The visit also included Birthday Celebration of DIYA Pune’s youngest volunteer (9 Years old). We celebrated the birthday with various poems and songs sung by children there. We also distributed clothes, sweets and other gifts to them. At last, we had a memorable time with all the children. The love and affection among us was at its peak during our complete stay at the orphanage. We are compelled to visit them again very soon.

On occasion of Republic Day, DIYA Pune has visited an orphanage - Sanmati Bal Niketan, one of many orphanages of famous social worker Sindhutai Sapkal (also known as 'Mai') and distributed sweets and cloths to them.

We had a great time as we shared love with them. Children felt very happy and really enjoyed with us. We have contacted many private and govt. office associates (Congnizent, NIV, Advinus, Brihans etc.) for the cloths and they donated generously. We still have a good collection of cloths and want to continue this activity at other orphanages also.

On a separate note, DIYA Pune is also involved in river cleaning activity, in which members of DIYA along with Indryani Seva Sangh and GPYG take part in Indrayani river cleaning activity. Indrayani river is one of the most important rivers in Maharashtra due to its religious and cultural importance as it is on the bank of Alandi (birth place of Saint Dnyeshwar). Chancellor of DSVV and Head of AWGP, Hon. Dr. Pranav pandya in his recent trip to pune has promised to give full support for cleaning of rivers in maharashtra.
