Dear friends, it’s my honour and privilege to discuss about another Donor Couple, Mr Anil Govil and Mrs Suman Govil, who have donated lovely green sweaters to all flyover kids of Blue Pen, to celebrate birth of their two grandsons Avaan and Aarish, born to Ambaree and Anshu.
I would take this opportunity to mention that this besides donation, this lovely couple Mr & Mrs Govil have been devoting every Sunday to teach our Flyover kids, ever since Feb 2017. Mr Anil Govil has been prominent Senior scientist (Retd) with world famed chain of Research Labs viz. National Physical Laboratory, Govt of India while Mrs Suman Govil is currently very senior Additional Secretary Rank official of Department of Biotechnology,Union Ministry of Science & Technology.
Friends,We all need to appreciate that there is no joy greater than “joy of giving”. While we r enjoying cosy homes in this winter and enjoy decent lifestyles, there r thousands of unfortunate deprived ones on streets, who don’t even have shelter and they are left with no option but to shiver while night without blanket. I would request all viewers to come forward and use distribution network of Blue Pen to donate New/Old items like Toys, Blankets for upcoming winters, Toys, Clothes, School Bags or other Daily utility items, for our Flyover/Slum kids/Women.
Trust me-that’s best way of celebrating Birthday/Anniversaries of your and Dear ones. It will be great if Donor himself comes and donate by hand, else Blue Pen also provides facility of picking up this stuff from your home and distribute it on your behalf.
Yesterday was special day as one of our volunteers,young n energetic Kavita Chowdhry celebrated her Birthday with Flyover/Slum kids and distributed birthday cake.
Further, as discussed last time, Blue Pen volunteers have now decided to celebrate Children’s day (14th Nov) in unique way. Yesterday, Science competition was organised for kids of all age groups in various Flyovers/Slums of all over Delhi.Talented kids in each group from participating kids from all Flyovers/Slums were selected. TEAM BLUE PEN is organising Visit of these meritorious kids to ‘Nehru Planetorium’ tomorrow, on Children’s Day (14th November). This concept was first mooted by our young and energetic volunteer Jai Khatri, with able assistance of Mr rajan, saurabh, rahul etc. We are very sure that tomorrows trip will inspire more and more Flyover/Slum kids to study harder.
