Mumbai, July 2020: The Don Bosco Development Society (DBDS) in joint collaboration with the Association of Auxilium India (Seregno - Italy) helped more than 200 widows and physically challenged residing in the slums of Sewri and Matunga in Mumbai. Food grains, toiletries and hygiene kits were distributed as part of this relief operation. Fr Rolvin D’Mello (Executive Director – DBDS) along with the staff and volunteers executed this task. Speaking on the occasion Fr Rolvin thanked the President, members and friends of the Association of Auxilium India for the financial support. Social distancing and other government compliances were strictly adhered to during this entire process. Since most of the physically challenged could not personally come to collect their relief kits and hence their family members collected the relief kits on their behalf.
Since April 2020 DBDS has DIRECTLY touched the lives of more than 1,30,000 poor and needy – providing for their basic needs during this challenging time of Covid-19 pandemic.
