Rang De – with kids at Ashiana

This Thursday on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, we decided to visit one of our NGO clients – Ashiana – which is a home for many children belonging from the disadvantaged sections of the society. The event was titled ‘Rand De’ and AIESECers helped the children make greeting cards for Diwali (we know its quite a few days away, the idea was for one of our another partner NGOs – RMV to be able to sell these cards to raise funds for a cause).

Thank you Parul and Rahul for organizing the event!
