NERUL: On the occasion of Mothers Day on 8th May, Heart Foundation through its ‘STREE’ (Smash Tradition, Rehabilitate, Educate and Empower) initiative is organizing a musical extravaganza at Wonders Park, Nerul from 6 to 9 pm. The programme titled ‘Gaata Rahe Mera Dil- Ek Shaam Stree Ke Naam’ which happens to be the first of its kind will have live musical evening by MH 43 India (Retro Bollywood Rock Band) and Soul (Sufi Rock Band). The bands will take you down the memory lane with some of the hit Bollywood retro songs with a blend of modern music.

The other attractions of the evening will be Fashion show by ‘Zameeni’ (an exclusive collection of sarees, kurtis, dupattas - straight from weavers to consumers); a nukkad play and dance performances by Sky Runners and BEATS Dance Academy.

“The main aim of ‘STREE’ is not only to highlight women achievers but to bring more and more women under its project and help them realize their potential, empower, educate and motivate them. Through this event, we wish to salute all the wonderful ladies. The programme is free except for the Wonders Park entry fee. We request all the residents to come in large number and pay tribute to the women. There would be over 75 gifts to be given to the lucky mothers on that day and it has been possible with the help of G3 Motors, Stem Rx, Royal Tulip Hotel, Housejoy & Surabhi Hospital, Nasik” said Dr. Jayakar Ellis, President, Heart Foundation.

“This is the second event in two months first being Heart 2016 for the youth where thousands of youth witnessed a three day event and now GRMD for the Moms. As a youth it is the least I can do for my Mom through this program and appeal to all the youth to bring their Moms for this unique event,” said Keyoor Karadkhedkar, who heads the music division of the Foundation – BEATS (Bringing Entertainment and Team Spirit) and the lead singer of MH 43 India.

“I am glad that an initiative for the mothers of Navi Mumbai is taking place on Mother’s Day.  My best wishes to STREE and Dr. Jayakar Ellis of Heart Foundation as they continue to work towards the upliftment of women” said Shri Sudhakar Sonawane, Mayor, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation.

“I am happy that our Woman Assistance Cell, Navi Mumbai Police under the leadership of Sr. PI Sangeeta Alphonso is associated with the initiation of Mother’s day celebration by STREE and what best way to salute our mom than through the Musical evening” said Dilip Sawant, deputy commissioner of police (crime).
