Mumbai Darshan with a difference :

This Sunday (February 21 2010) Umang Foundation and it’s team would be organizing a Mumbai Darshan trip for 150 cancer suffering children from Tata memorial hospital. Three buses are arranged to accommodate the children and Umang volunteers for the trip.

Journey would begin from Tata memorial hospital at 11:30am. Major points would be covered in this trip. We are expecting children to be happy as they are getting a chance to visit most known tourist destinations of Mumbai.



Destinations planned out for the day includes:

1) Nehru Science Centre

2) Taraporawala Aquarium

3) Gateway Of India

4) Nariman Point

5) Queen’s Necklace


Some snacks would be served to the kids during the bus journey from Aquarium to Gateway of India. Kids and the Umang team are expected to spend around 1 hour at Gateway of India. Next snack break would be during their journey towards Marine Drive.

This being the first mobile event of Umang Foundation, all volunteers are well informed and trained to handle this enent. Managing 150 children, provide utmost security and care would be a challenge for Team Umang. More than 50 volunteers are expected to join this special event.

Special beforehand precautions would be taken regarding the health and well-being of each and every child in the bus. Volunteers present in the bus would be giving personal attention to each kid, to avoid any last-minute chaos. To keep a track of the kids, badges/identification ribbons would be provided for the kids, which would make the management of kids a bit simpler. Umang volunteers would also be having a ribbon tied in their arms for identification at public places.

Hope this event becomes a huge success and this can only be achieved by your support and co-operation. So, do join us in bringing a smile on these kid’s faces.

A Smile on many innocent faces over here, gives a very satisfying feeling in bottom of your heart, you can realize that this evening should be organized on a regular interval for these patients, added Ashish Goyal.

I am blessed to have young founders of Umang Foundation with me said R S Swaminathan (48 years), being a Umang Champion for this activity I was little worried earlier but I am very happy to see smile on the face of every patients from Tata Memorial Hospital said Swaminathan. We have almost 150 patients with us in the evening which have came from different hostels of Tata Memorial Hospital to attend this Musical Evening and today we will make sure that it will be memorable for every patients for many years from now. We will be organizing such events on a regular basis from now onwards added Swaminathan.

We believe in bigger objective in life and hence we believe in changing the way we live said Akshay Shah (24 years), co-founder – Umang Foundation. If we can make one such evening joyful for these patients, then that will be memorable for both sides, these people are in challenging phase of their life and we are just trying to bring them out from that pain added Akshay Shah.

I feel myself fortunate that I am associated with Umang Foundation, and getting involved in noble cause said Pankaj Shah (53 years).

We are always there to support and perform for the noble cause, wherever society is going to get benefitted, said Mohan Pendse, Pendse Music Academy, Thane.

At Umang Foundation, we believe in bringing changes to life of many people in our society where we live in, no matter it is to promote education among under privilege school children in out skirts of Mumbai or cheering them when they dance on the stage today in front of us, we believe in spreading happiness and smile among every section of our society, said Deena Sawlani, co-founder Umang Foundation.

Mr. Ashok Deshmukh, (62 years), a social worker and a representative of Tata Memorial Hospital and Research Center said that we have been organizing many such events in all these years and in fact we arrange at least 4 events every month, but I have never seen such arrangements for our patients in my 20 years of service for these patients. Our patients have enjoyed a lot and I can assure you that the take away today for our patients is really amazing and above our expectation. I thank you R S Swaminathan and Umang Foundation to arrange such events. Also I request you to please arrange such events on a regular interval, added Deshmukh.
