Greetings from Sai Anugraha.
There is a Swedish proverb which everyone needs to remember throughout life - “Shared joy is double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow.”
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. This is what all Sai Anugraha family members strictly follow. After reading the above quote, it is time to read what we as a family have done in the month of October-2021.
In the month of October, we received an amount of ₹3,86,777/- and spent an amount of ₹7,94,937.80/- towards various initiatives such as Education Help, Food sponsorship at Old age homes & Orphanage homes, groceries sponsorship at Old age homes & Orphanage homes etc. In this month, we touched nearly 2,282 hearts & extended our helping hand.
