The school is over and the real world beyond awaits. Recently, we celebrated the farewell of 12th Std students from one of our partner school, R.C.Maruti. These also included 20 of our Future Smiles and Girl Child Education Project beneficiaries. The Chief Guests for this event were Miss. Sarvoparita, Education and Development Unit Head, Mumbai Smiles and Field Coordinator for Future Smiles, Mr. Pravin Birhade also from Mumbai Smiles.IMG_0238The ceremony began by felicitation of the Chief Guests and introduction of Mumbai Smiles by Mr. Shiv, teacher at the school. It was interesting to hear stories of experiences shared by the students of their time spent in school. The alumnus of the school, who secured a high percentage, were also awarded medals and certificates. Even the students who excelled in sports like Kho-Kho, Kabbadi, Cricket, Football, Langadi, Carrom were given due appreciation in the form of medals and certificates. Further increasing the revelry of the event, were dance performances by the students.

Mr. Sing, Principal of R. C. Maruti school gave an inspiring speech of how people consider the underprivileged as untouchables but that’s not the case as they are the most hardworking students from the lot. Being denied of luxury these students strive hard to attain their goals. He also emphasised on the fact that if one wants to do something for the society, they should first begin to bring the change on themselves.

During the closing ceremony teacher and the Principal came forward with their feedback. Here’s what they had to say-

The principal of R.C. Maruti Mr. Sing said, “Mumbai Smiles works with genuine beneficiaries. They are extremely cooperative and support the underprivileged  As you are aware there are lots of people who can’t pay college fees for their children, so we appreciate your work and thank you for supporting us and giving time to attend the Farewell Ceremony. Thanks.”

The teacher Mr. Shiv Sir shared, “Theses students come from various kind of background and they are very needy in terms of financial situation. They are very hard working but they don’t have income resources and financial support but irrespective they manage any situation and score good in exams. It’s disheartening to say that some of the good top schools called us as ‘Untouchables’ in terms of infrastructure of school, environments, facilities etc. Mumbai Smiles identified these children and supported them through scholarship to empower them. We believe that Mumbai Smiles is an excellent organization who works for our needy students. That’s not all, they have also organised & Dental Camps. They provided school kit for girls and also organized Capacity Building Workshop for our students. We are really happy there is someone who is there for our needy students to support then in education and their good future”.
