Rotary Club of Thana West celebrated Diwali with inmates of Mental Hospital, Thane.
This is our ongoing project which we do every Diwali. There are 3 units with 5 wards each for male section and 2 units with 5 wards each for female section. All these wards alongwith their resp. staff members take part in the Best Ward competition. We judge these wards on the basis of ward cleanliness, ward decoration, ward participation, patient cleanliness & patient participation. There is always a tremendous enthusiasm amongst staff members and patients for this event. Few of the wards really go out of the way and decorate the wards beautifully, stage some songs and dramas, build castles, display posters and greeting cards. We go around all these wards and interact with them. We then judge them and give marks.
They are given prizes in the end which they cherish for the year to come. This year we gave them 30 earthen pots for drinking water storage and rangoli, papers, colours etc. for ward decorations.
R/Ann Snehal Deshpande, R/Annet Adwait Deshpande, Manjusha Muley, Sadhana Vaze, Hemant Divekar, Dr. Mahesh Parekh, Suchit Gadakari, Kumar Kewalramani and Sanjay Deshpande participated in the project.
