The Desire Society provides shelter, food, medical treatment, education, pyscho-social support to orphans who are affected with HIV/AIDs or have lost their parents to this disease. The Vashi center in Mumbai presently has 32 inmates.   On the occasion of Sri M’s birthday, the 6th of November, Team SSM Mumbai organized a festive treat for these wondrous children.    The children had sent in their request for an extensive menu that comprised special dishes such as biryani , snacks, and sweets. They simply loved the delicious treat and expressed their gratitude with beaming smiles.

The Festival of Lights, Deepavali, was truly special for the members of Team SSM Mumbai as they collaborated with Desire Society to share the sweetness of love and the radiance of light with the 32 HIV/AIDS affected children of this center in Vashi, Mumbai. Team SSM Mumbai kicked off the festivities with melodious songs about love and life.  The team members then distributed school bags and satchels: 10 for the children studying in primary school and 22 for the children studying in secondary and high school. Chocolates, sweets, and biscuits proved to be the icing on the cake for these precious children. The management of the Desire Society was extremely grateful for this gesture as Team SSM Mumbai spent these joyous moments with these bright youngsters and helped kindle the flame of hope in their lives.
