Volunteer Lis from Spain visits Mumbai Smiles

 In Awareness, Thank You, Volunteer

Being a non-profit organisation, we meet and come across a lot of good-hearted, kind and genuine souls on a daily basis. These people whom we interact with belong to various fields of work. While most of these beautiful people are the community citizens themselves, the others are our dear donors, supporters, volunteers and other well wishers.

Today, we wish to share with you about a very beautiful and generous lady Lis Llado Gimene. Lis is a psychologist in her 50s who used to work with the KLM airlines and is now volunteering with Sonrisas de Bombay, our sister organisation in Barcelona, Spain, to help us with our projects and other work, both here and in Spain and has contributed a lot to our work!

During her one week stay in Mumbai and visit to Mumbai Smiles specifically, she interacted with us all at length. She visited our preschool education centres, livelihood centre, Life Skills Empowerment sessions and activities and even did some visits to meet the Maternal & Child Health beneficiaries. Lis ensured that she spent time at each of our project sites to interact with the children and women at the above mentioned centres. She discussed with them about their daily lives, and whether they or have not benefitted from their association with Mumbai Smiles and enjoyed some light and fun moments with them too.

Lis is an extremely jovial and kind person who is all ears for anyone who wishes to talk about anything and everything and is forever ready to help others in whichever way possible. It is this helping and firnedly nature of her that made us all attached to her in the one week that she spent with us and our Mumbai Smiles family.

Before her visit ended, she also gave us this beautiful feedback:

Thank you so much Lis. You have been a very dear friend and supporter of ours. We cannot express in words about how important a role you have played for us and without expecting anything in return. All the help that you have lent to us is helping us help our city of Mumbai to grow and develop and create an atmosphere of equality and equal opportunities for all the citizens. Thank you once again and we hope that our collaboration continues till we achieve our vision, and your role is extremely crucial on this journey to an “equal” Mumbai.
