FEELS GOOD TO KNOW, THAT WE ARE 12 YEARS OLD

TODAY, THE BREEZE WHICH ENTERED FROM SHAFA HOMES DOOR WAS DISSOLVED WITH THE FRAGNANCES OF JASMINE AND ROSES. HOLY CHANTS MADE THE AMBIENCE MORE SPIRITUAL. IT IS A DAY OF CREATION, DAY OF REJUVINATION. YES, IT IS SHAFA’S 12th FOUNDATION DAY.

TODAY SHAFA BECAME ONE YEAR YOUNGER. A SMALL SAPLING, WHICH WAS PLANTED 12 YEAR BACK HAS NOW MATURED INTO A BLOSSOMING TREE. SHAFA IS THE RESULT OF THE HARD WORK OF ALL THOSE SOULS, WHOM CONTRIBUTED WITH PASSION AND GREAT DEDICATION, BELIEVED IN THE POWER OF ‘WE’ THAN ‘I’. THEIR FOCUS WAS TO SERVE SOCIETY WITH GRATITUDE, WITHOUT ANY DISCRIMINATION.   

THERE WERE DAYS WHICH WERE TOUGH, MOMENTS WHICH WERE ENLIGHTNENING, BUT WE STAYED TOGETHER.  SO TODAY WE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HELPED US IN SPIRIT IN THIS JOURNEY. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT WITH US TODAY, BUT WITHOUT WHOM THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE. WE LEARNT FROM EVERY SMALL THING WHICH MADE US STRONGER. OUR JOURNEY IS POSSIBLE BECASE WE HOPED AGAINST HOPE. THANKS TO EVERONE.

DAY STARTED WITH ‘HAWAN’ FOLLOWED BY SHARING OF STAFF AND COUNCELLORS. THEY GAVE A HOPE TO RESIDENTS THAT ONE DAY EVEN THEY WILL BECOME A PART OF SHAFA’S CHAIN OF RECOVERY. A ‘LANGER’ (COMMUNITY FOOD) WAS PREPARED BY RESIDENTS AND ALSO DISTRIBUTTED AMONGST POOR AND HOMELESS, TO SHARE THIS BIG DAY. THE CULTUAL PROGRAM PRESENTED BY RESIDENTS ON THIS OCCASSION WAS WORTH WITNESSING.
