Salva India Hosts Shishur Sevay
The Salva India office recently played host to the people at Shishur Sevay as part
of its ongoing community effort. Shishur Sevay is a specialist orphanage that
serves as a community based, family type home, and is a model of non-institutional
care of orphaned girls.
It is currently managed and operated Dr. Michelle Harrison, who is the 'mother'
of 13 children who live permanently at Shishur Sevay. Out of the 13, four
girls suffer from cerebral palsy and receive special in house therapy.
Michelle
stays with the girls, and provides them food, shelter, education and most
importantly care and love. The day was spent entertaining and educating the
girls on the various roles at Salva and showing them how an office functions
since the girls had never been to a actual office.
The Geology team with Biplob Chatterjee as its 'captain' took them through
different videos on coal formation, gold and crystals. Goody bags were also
distributed. It was a fantastic day and Salva looks forward to continuing to
assist those less fortunate.
