Financial prosperity, power, authority or fame cannot make human life meaningful. But it is possible only if we extend our every possible support to under privileged countrymen & women considering them as miniature of god, appealed Rameshji Kacholiya, founder of Mumbai Group of Friends (MGOF) here. He also appealed all the likeminded civil society members to join Snehalaya as Snehalaya is changing the destinies of hundreds of most deprived sections of our society.

Mr. Kacholiya also told about some of the institutions getting support of MGOF. The NGO’s with true volunteerism are going to carve the future of India and relying merely or blaming to Government, Police, Judicial, or media for not bringing the social change will be escapism for civil society, he commented.
