"So was her effect on our lives that even in her final goodbye she made all of us come together after 20 odd years. May God bless her soul and May the heaven be lighted up with her bright smile and pure heart."
What we miss the most is your infectious smile.
We could not think of anything better, but to spread it to miles.
Rest in peace our dear friend Arwah Surpurwala
To pay our respects to the departed soul, schoolmates of Arwah have come together and identified an NGO - Ashray Seva Sansthan that is home to over 25 abandoned girls.

NEEDS IDENTIFIED
1) Computers - Basic computer knowledge and software skills can open another avenue for the girls to earn in the future. The idea is to not just provide computers but also ensure skills are taught to the girls.
2) Refrigerator - There are around 35 – 40 members (girls + staff) for whom food is cooked. It gets spoiled in absence of a refrigerator. Currently, there are none at the ashram.
3) Library - Books can widen the span of knowledge and prove to be a good recreational activity for girls. The effort is to create a library with both new and old books for all age groups
