Wall of Kindness: A Gift to Pune City from Poona College Muskaan Volunteers
Pune, January 28,2019 – With the temperature dipping to less than 6 degrees, the record of the coldest day in the last two decades in Pune city, the volunteers of Muskaan: The Healing Smile, once again geared up to spread happiness and warmth among the deprived sections of Pune city.
This time it was with the concept of Wall of Kindness.
A.K.I’s Poona College of Arts, Science and Commerce’s Muskaan volunteers, joined hands with the Pune Cantonment Board (PCB) and got full fledge support from Ms. Priyanka Shirigiri, Vice President, Pune Cantonment Board who gave them a wall of the centre, which is located on MG Road, next to Pune Cantonment Court, Camp.
This Wall of Kindness was inaugurated on 28 January 2019 by Ms. Priyanka Shirigiri, Vice President, Pune Cantonment Board. The wall is beautifully painted and regularly cleaned by the volunteers of Muskaan.
The idea behind the wall of kindness is to reach to the needy and deprived section of the society by making available clothes, sweaters, blankets, etc to the people who cannot afford.
When the young volunteers of Muskaan went to the Principal, Prof. Aftab Anwar Shaikh with the idea of Wall of Kindness, the Principal supported these youngsters and told them ‘it is a simple and wonderful idea, dear students: the sort that one wonders why no one thought of it before in Pune city’.
