Umang Foundation a Mumbai based NGO actively works for the welfare of children in the city and has organized many activities for the welfare of children.
This time on Sunday, February 21, 2010, Umang Foundation organized a Mumbai Darshan Trip for approx 100 children suffering from cancer; these children are from under privileged families who are undergoing treatment at Tata Memorial Hospital, Parel.
With the hospital co-operation Umang successfully pulled off the this task of taking approx 100 cancer patients on a joy ride.
Joy ride was managed with 3 buses waiting outside the hospital premise and each bus got full with laughter of 30- 35 children and 15-20 volunteers. It was nothing less than a picnic for the children.
As per the pre-scheduled plan, all 3 buses moved towards Nehru Science Center, where lunch was served to all the children then science centre to look into. Children saw everything and learnt about basic science in interactive sessions with Team Umang, as Team Umang revised our long forgotten science lessons in school. The marvels of science pulled them as was evident in their eager faces, brightened eyes as was evident in their smiles.
Every member of Team Umang had their own 4-5 children to look after. Outside the Nehru Science Center, all gathered for a memorable photo session which no one could have missed for anything. Life gives one moment just once and this was one such moment, real beautiful smiles and cheese moment of children and Team Umang. After spending around 3 hrs at Nehru Science Centre, the children settled in bus for rest, cool breeze and small refreshment of juice and popcorn which kept their energy levels up, as they were driven to next stop.
The next destination being Taraporevala Aquarium, the children accompanied by volunteers were taken in Aquarium, As they walked seeing the huge mammoth skeleton of shark awed and thrilled both and moved onto different exotic marine lives, taking in the shapes and forms of these different fishes, few of them which really held kids attention was sea horse, sea snake, turtles, neon fish etc.
At the aquarium, they found Mickey Mouse, Scooby Doo and Tweety eagerly waiting to entertain them. The only sound which could be heard for some time was squeals of laughter, excitement and Kodak "Say Cheeeese" moments with the dancing comic characters. The kids, who now were fully charged climbed up buses with these mascots accompanying them, laughing… singing… playing Antakshri…
