Thanks to sponsors for breakfast (Mrs Manjula Kolavi) and Lunch (Mrs and Mr. Prakash Rajagoli) Thanks to donors for the saplings as well.
We donated towels and notebooks to the students of the mutt.
While doing the dry run we noticed that there is a goshala in the mutt premises and it’s full of desi cattles!! We decided to help the mutt authorities and sent a an appeal for donations. The response was amazing, and we could be able to collect Rs 55,555 and donated the same to Swamiji to look after the desi cattles.
On the way back home, we visited Mandargiri betta, did trekking and enjoyed the nature.
