The education of the girl child has the ability of bringing socio-economic changes. We see around girls dropping out of school, due to various reasons. At RC of Mumbai Mahim we decided to help out girl students from Varad School, Katta, Konkan. Rtn. Rashmi is instrumental in introducing the school to RCMM. Students have to walk almost 45 – 60 mnts to reach school. As a humble beginning, we decided to donate 11 bicycles and requested the teachers to select suitable girl students. During the bicycles distribution ceremony, it was mentioned that students can use their time for studying more effectively as travel time is reduced. We also installed Sanitary Napkin Vending Machine. Usage and disposal of sanitary napkins was explained. Overall it was satisfying experience to witness happiness of the students. Inspired by the gesture of RCMM, many donors have come forward to stock sanitary napkins throughout the year.
