The festive season is around the corner and as we all celebrate and create wonderful memories with our near and dear ones, let us not forget the ones who mayn’t be as fortunate.
MaitreePDX is delighted to bring back our successful “Sweets for Smiles” fundraiser. Like the previous year, all proceeds will be used to buy winter clothes for the children at Antyodoy Anath Ashram, an Orphanage for abandoned and destitute children since 1995 at Paunsi, a remote village in Purba Medinipur district of West Bengal state in India. The journey of Antyodoy Anath Ashram is truly a fascinating one. The journey that started about 25 years back in 1995, through the emotional act of a local inhabitant, Sri Balaram Karan, by giving shelter to a hapless child of a nearby locality, has culminated to today’s Antyodoy Anath Ashram, an orphanage per excellence, where a good number of destitute children are being brought up under the watchful eyes of the Ashram management.
The “Sweets Tower” contains 5 authentic Bengali sweets and a savory snack.
These include
- Mango Sandesh
- Kamola Bhog
- BoNde
- Malpoa
- Rabri
- Chirey Bhaja
The order will be ready for collection on Saturday 22nd October, 2022 in the afternoon at Bethany. More details about the address and collection time will follow closer to the event. For more details please reach out to the team personally or email us at maitree.pdx@gmail.com
