Highly Irrepairable loss :
How Sad!…Hardly did we come out of celebrations of the new building with new additions, new features of the Computer Skill Center and the Health Care Center for the POOR and the NEEDY with confirmed job offers, at the Old Age home near Sector E Vasant Kunj, came the heart-breaking sad news of the unfortunate passing away of Suman Sawhney, the real force behind the famous Sawhney Foundation.
She was a founder trustee of the Foundation. Sawhney Healthcare Centre was born out of her desire to provide quality healthcare to the left behind sections of the society. Old Age Home, Suman Sawhney Healthcare Centre and Multi-skill vocational Centre all stand as tribute to her ideals, dedication to the cause of working for the weaker sections and motivation to create such a facility.
Suman Sawhney was both the force and inspiration behind Ashok Sawhney’s social welfare projects. Her strong values and shared belief with her spouse actualised their life’s philosophy: “He is not rich, who has much, but He who gives much.” And that “wealth is to be used to wipe a few tears” and “empower those left behind”. She believed in the doctrine: “Giving while Living.” She imbibed strong family values and in her own very special way promoted Indian culture and way of life.
May God bless the noble soul and also give strength to all to continue to run the Sawhney Foundation for the welfare of the POOR and the NEEDY!
