accident and has broken his leg and been brought from the street to this place

One person named Shivkumar had his leg amputated as his leg was completely eaten up
worms , which even entered his blood stream and caused more problems

Role of Godrej :

After meeting all these people and distribution of biscuit packets which we carried

During our visit, we met all of them and spoke to those patients. They were more than
happy to see us and speak to us.

One of the patient identified us as Godrej employees and they were very happy and told us
that Godrej canteen provides food snacks to them on daily basis.

It was a surprise to us too. It seems they have been getting help in different forms from
Godrej employees in the past as well as now

We salute Bro.Peter Paul Raj and Mr. Francis who has left his job/career etc. for this human
cause.

A small act of kindness
