We started this program by serving the families at
Ronald McDonald House on Dec 3rd, 2006. Twelve youth
from the ICFGM Youth Volunteer Group, along with three
adults visited the Ronald McDonald House
to give the patients from St Jude Hospital and their
families a little glimpse of Indian culture. Following
a lunch of pizza and dessert, the youth volunteers
performed many different variations of Raas/Garba
and taught some of the steps to the residents. There
was also a display of traditional Garba clothes
which some of the residents tried on. It was a great
experience for our youth to mingle with the patients
and their families and get a little glimpse into the
life of children with cancer. Our sincere thanks to
our Youth Volunteer Group: Anand Baxi, Anand Saha,
Anuj Shukla, Mahak Soni, Rahul Kumar, Sapna Jain,
Shimul Gajjar, Smitha Pidikiti, Smruti Keshani,
Somesh Rai, Sri Pulusani, Vaishali Keshani and Vishwas
Chandra.
