On one hand when the entire city will be spending the day with their loved ones, on the occasion of Valentine's Day, some non-government organisations plan to share their love and affection with the underprivileged sections of society in a different way.

DNA spoke to few NGOs from the city who will be celebrating Valentine's Day in a special way.

Umang Foundation, an NGO consisting of professionals from various sectors has organised a trip to Karjat during which they will be spending their day with the tribals. "We will be there to distribute clothes to at least 400 tribals from Bhivpuri area, which will be a part of our V-Day celebrations," said Ashish Goyal, founder.

Meanwhile, Reiki Parivar Adhyatmik Vikas Kendra Charitable Trust, in a bid to save several lives will be conducting a blood donation drive near Ghantalidevi Mandir in Thane from 10am to 2pm. Meanwhile to educate the masses about reiki, an alternative healing method, there will be a seminar on basic Reiki course from 3pm to 7pm. "By organising social activities and bringing people together we are celebrating this day and also passing the message of unity," informed Abhijit Alka Anil, committee member of the trust. deepa_s@dnaindia.net
