This Children's Day saw the culmination of months of flawless planning and effort by our super dedicated IW team & the CPAA team. This event was especially to show the kids suffering cancer and their parents that "someone cares for them too" the efforts and enthusiasm shown by parents, Smaash staff and volunteers of CPAA deserves a special mention.
64 Kids were just back from Wadia hospital after their Chemotherapy. Generally kids are very tired after such therapy but yesterday we could see the excitement in their eyes. They were waiting for this since morning. It was a sight to have those bright smiles on faces of kids, parents, IW team and CPAA team. We sensed the success of the project when the District Chairman Dr. Madhavi Pandya asked us if we can have this kind of celebration every year for these kids. And when Anita Peter Director of CPAA proposed us for a Christmas celebration for cancer kids from different hospital.
