NERUL: On the occasion of Mothers
Day on 8th May, Heart Foundation through its ‘STREE’ (Smash Tradition,
Rehabilitate, Educate and Empower) initiative organized a musical extravaganza
at Wonders Park, Nerul from 6 to 9 pm where over 3300 people came to watch the
show. The programme titled ‘Gaata Rahe Mera Dil- Ek Shaam Stree Ke Naam’ (GRMD)
happened to be the first of its kind with live musical evening by MH 43 India
(Retro Bollywood Rock Band) and Soul (Sufi Rock Band). The bands took the full
capacity crowd down the memory lane with some of the hit Bollywood retro songs
with a blend of modern music.
The other attractions of the evening were Fashion
show by ‘Zameeni’ (an exclusive collection of sarees, kurtis, dupattas -
straight from weavers to consumers); where the models were mostly moms, a
nukkad play and dance performances by BEATS Dance Academy.
“The programme was a huge success not because of the
crowd but because of the way the crowd enjoyed especially the moms. Our motto
and desire to help them realize their potential, empower, educate and motivate
them was fulfilled and every woman went home satisfied. We were able to give
platform to many women and young girls who had the desire to sing and dance in
front of live audience but had never been recognised” said Dr. Jayakar Ellis,
President, Heart Foundation.
“It was heartening to see that many youngsters came
forward with a desire to perform but because of time constraints it was not
possible to accommodate them this time, but we would be soon organizing another
such program. GRMD would not have been possible without the help of G3 Motors,
Zameeni, Stem Rx, Royal Tulip Hotel, Housejoy & Surabhi Hospital, Nasik” he
added.
“I came for the program with my wife and was
surprised when I was asked a few questions and when I told Dr. Ellis that we
were married for 27 years, he promptly gave us a Stay Voucher for two of us at
Royal Tulip Hotel, Kharghar” said Mr. Iqbal with tears of joy in his eyes.
“It’s the least we could do for the Moms on Mothers
day as they are the actual people who are very rarely rewarded for their
contribution to the family and mankind” said Mr. Nabendu Acharjee, GM, Royal
Tulip Hotel, Kharghar.
“We were glad to be a part of an initiative for the
mothers of Navi Mumbai taken by STREE and we were able to communicate to the
people about how "LIFE IS DIVINE" and NATURE provides "Natural
kits of self repair" in our body "MASTER CELLs" scientifically
known as "STEM CELLs"” said Dr. Pradeep Mahajan, Stem Rx.
“I am thankful to STREE for having invited me and
honored the Navi Mumbai Traffic department for their contribution towards the
women at large” said Arvind Salve, deputy commissioner of police (Traffic).
“We were happy to be a part of GRMD and it was nice
of STREE to honor the tireless work of the Women Assistance Cell and also honor
me for my work” said Sangeeta Alphonso, who recently took charge of the cell.
“I am glad our work was recognized and we were honored for our contribution to
the society” said Jyoti Gaikwad, API, Women Asst. Cell, Navi Mumbai Police.
