"I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver."
We visited the Pujali Ferry Ghat situated in Pujali, dist South 24 Parganas on 29 May 2023.
Myself (Puspen Samanta), Keka Jana, Pranatosh Hansda, and our student cum member, Kaustav Khanra visited the ghat area
and helped our fisherman brother in need. We provided them with clothing, sweets and, a smile. We know
that our help was a tiny dent in their lives but at least it made them smile. We gave them
everything we could afford, and their smile was the rest.

"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth."
We visited the CHIRANABIN observation home situated in Amta, dist Howrah on 11 August 2022. The place
was basically for indigent, foundling and orphan children. There were around 300+
kids. We provided them with meals. Special thanks to Goldy, Sandip, Dinu, Sarupa,
and Pragya for entertaining children with little games and also guiding children and
organisation member to make boat with tube and bamboo. And our dear Puspen sir,
specially arranged Archery, dart board, skateboards, skating wheels and many more
games to play. Finally, we celebrated "Rakhsha Bandhan" by tying each of them
rakhis. Their overwhelming happiness really put a smile on our faces and made us
realise that true happiness lies in sharing and treating everyone equal.
