Rahmatein, organised by Sunshine Society on 22 January, was an event that witnessed true Rahmatein! The actual planning started once the Silvercity AOA gave us the permission to use their premises. Umashankar Sharma, president AOA Silvercity, acknowledged that the Sector 93 Gejha study center is totally managed by the members and volunteers of Silvercity – Rijita, with whom the process started in 2015 and who relentlessly pursued that we bring Sunshine Society to 93. Anupama, a woman of a big heart ensured that the process is absolutely smooth. Nirupama, rock solid and backbone of our study center is also the Badi maa’m. Bandita, Naghma, Seema, Sunaina, Sujata, Vinod who is the science man of our center, Sunita Jain brings music to our children’s lives; Saba, Nandini, Aruna, Manju, Saarim, Ammaar, and so many more student volunteers all from Silvercity.
It was for this center that a fundraiser was organized. The process started with Anupama’s promise to sell all the tickets, Siddhhi’s promise to design the event and Faiz Ali Khan’s promise to sing and ensure that the quality is the best!
Rahmatein the fundraiser would not have been possible without the support of Vinita, who ensured the minutest details and connected all the loose ends; Anupama, Nandini, Dipali, Nirupama, Sujata, Tanvi, Chaitali, Sujata, Nirupama, Seema and the list can go on and on. It was further supported by sponsors – a realtor, a kind individual who does not wish to be named, a jewelry merchant and a few more individuals who wish to remain anonymous.
Faiz Ali Khan and his entire team kept the audiences asking for more and Ramita Taneja the MC of the evening and also the vice president of Sunshine, ensured that the audiences remained connected.
The people involved in Sunshine are CEOs, managing directors, established doctors, exceptional home makers, business owners, Embassy employees, and senior employees of their companies but when they come together they become photographers, water bearers, PR people, runner boys and girls, painters.
Sunshine Society’s President Vidya, Vice President Ramita, Treasurer Vanita, Jt. Secretary Archana and Secretary Vaishali along with all the members, volunteers and well-wishers are thankful for Rahmatein!
