PoB activity for February 2024- Tribal women empowerment through tailoring and kitchen projects, SGNP
Yet another awesome activity!!!
We started our day with nature trail inside SGNP.
We walked through the bamboo garden and visited the plant nursery. Breakfast of matar poha and idli chutney with kadak masala chai from the tribal kitchen was a gastronomic delight.
We then visited the zoo, the cat orientation centre, taxidermy house and botanical garden. The walk to Gandhi tekdi aided the faster digestion. Here we had a workshop of block printing on the bags. This was conducted by the trained ladies from the village. This was followed by an authentic tribal lunch along with the display of Seva products and then interaction with the ladies who make the products. Thanks to our PoB members who bought products worth Rs.8300/_ right on the spot.
We witnessed several examples of transformation from a subdued lady to a dynamic person. Many girls/ladies who were shy and silent earlier are now the leaders and trek guides. It makes us more happy when we know that we have also contributed a little bit in their journey.
Thank you PoB members 🙏🏾
ACTIVITY FOR JANUARY 2024: ALL SAINTS HOME
This month at Path of Bliss, we supported All Saints Home with their grocery requirements. The old age home established back in 1897 continues to be a sanguine shelter for 30 inmates who presently reside here. PoB provided them their monthly grocery.

We started with a wonderful village lunch at Vanvihar of bhakri, roti, sabji, usal, dal, rice, papad, curd...
Training centre at Ambivli
Stitching training for 12 women happens at this centre. We have 4 electric machines and 2 full shuttle machines here. From PoB, we donated stools, chairs, bulbs, fans cupboards and scissors here.
Mograj school
This school is till 4th standard. From PoB we donated writing boards, colour pencils, flash cards and wall fans. They had put the fans 4 days back and had waited for us to come and only today they switched it ON.
We distributed the writing boards to them.
Malegaon School
This school is also from 1 to 4th std and they have only 2 classrooms. Each room has 2 standards and they place board on both sides. One side will be std 3 and the other one will be std 4.
We donated blackboard, footballs, chess, carrom, bats, balls and stump, skipping ropes. The children were overjoyed with the gifts. They sang us a welcome song and were waiting impatiently for us as they knew till we come and hand over their gifts they will not be allowed to play with them.
All the videos will be uploaded on FB page of the trust. Thank you all 🙏🙏
District Probation and After Care Association - Observation Home, Bhivandi
Path of Bliss celebrated this Diwali month activity imparting joy to the children who are born in the red light areas. Luckily, they are brought up at an Observation Home (District Probation and After Care Association) at Bhivandi. We helped this Observation Home renovate their old dining area so that the 60 kids can happily dine together. We donated steel utensils like dinner and breakfast plates, glasses, spoons, jugs, and small and big containers with lids.
