GIVE A TOY, GIVE A SMILE- Toy Drive at AWIC Community & Social Services this Christmas Season

The AWIC Community & Social Services has started a TOY DRIVE for Sick Children
Priti Lamba - President AWIC
this year.  AWIC has collected over 350 hundred toys till now with community
support which would be given to the sick childrens' hospital hopefully bringing a 
beautiful smile on their innocent faces.


Passionately involved with the community as always, President Priti Lamba who is also a mother of two children says, "There is nothing more fulfilling and satisfying than seeing a smile on a child's face with a shine in their eyes. It is so infectious that it makes everyone around happy and spreads happines all around. This is what enouraged me to take this initiative along with AWIC. It was wonderful to see that the community came forward in full support. We have a room  full of toys that AWIC would be donating to sick kids on the 22nd of December 2016"
