Multi Dimensional World Vision India

The cheerful faces of excited children blushed the red roses at the World Vision India Partners Meet in Mumbai on 27th February. I know there are too many adverbs in a single sentence but can not help praising the World Vision India. Such was the exhilarating , refreshing and mood-boosting atmosphere at the partners meet that, all of us first time visitors are grateful to World Vision India for absorbing us in their Multi-Dimensional activities.

World Vision India is a Christian humanitarian organization working to create lasting change in the lives of children, families and communities living in poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all people regardless of religion, caste, race, ethnicity or gender. Spread across 174 districts in India, World Vision works through long-term sustainable community development programmes and immediate disaster relief assistance

I am passionate about children-cause so I grabbed this opportunity to blog for World Vision India and joined #Mumbai4Children.

Many sponsors met their sponsored children along with their families and shared their special moments with me. Dr. Taher Y. Kagalwala ( M.D. Pediatric , who has 2 children of his own and sponsored 4 children )  , Ms. Priyanka Sharma ( 24 year old bachelor, social media professional ), Ms. Rashmi Vedak ( with her own 3 year old son and mom) , a C.A. professional with his wife  were a few, with whom I enjoyed chatting at the World Vision India Partners meet.

Child Sponsorship monthly gift helps in providing life-transforming necessities like clean water , nutritious food , health care , education , sustainable development and above all a hopeful future.

The purpose of the World Vision India- Partners Meet was that the sponsors can come to the event, see and hear firsthand , the impact of their sponsorship support in the lives of needy children , their families and communities.

Groups of children performed Gazals and folk-dances. They set rhythm to the music. Some of the children enacted a play on peace. They were hugely applauded by the appreciative audience.

Sponsored  children shared their fruitful  journey with World vision.
