On 2 December 2017, Team Nanhi Jaan donated blankets raised by Small Wonders School, Mohali, to crèche at PGI and Sarai at PGI. 50 blankets were donated.  Team Nanhi Jaan also donated sweaters and shoes to 109 children at Christian Senior Secondary School Kharar. 250 story books collected during our Donate books drive were also handed over for establishing a library. 59 sets of sweaters and shoes were donated by SML Isuzu Ltd and 50 sets were arranged by Nanhi Jaan. The school was established in 1891. Sadly this government aided school is in a dilapidated condition.

Revamping the library project kicked-off on 2nd November 2017 from Govt Senior Secondary School Sector 10, Chandigarh. We collected more than 1000 books which, in turn, were used to revamp the libraries of Govt Schools in Chandigarh and even start a library where none existed.

On May 11, 2017, Team Nanhi Jaan celebrated Joy Of Giving Day. 19 schools from the region participated in the function. Differently-abled children and children from schools who support inclusive education pitched in to perform at a common platform much according to the motto of Nanhi Jaan, ‘Giving children the care they deserve’. It was a humbling and moving experience for most of the audience. These children some of those who were deprived of an important faculty taught us to remain strong and face the challenge in the most adverse circumstances with a smile on the face. God bless these wonderful children who have left an indelible mark on our minds.

In October 2017, Team Nanhi Jaan visited Masol village as a part of our outreach program. It was a day filled with fun for children and satisfaction for the teams. We were joined in by nine students of MBA in Media and Communication from Symbiosis Pune who had come to Nanhi Jaan to intern.  Masol is a heritage village with lots of archeological remains, yet very neglected with no proper motor able road. We have promises to keep And miles before we go to sleep….

Nanhi Jaan officially launched it’s Youth Wing in February 2017 by putting a stall at the Colosseum fest at DAV College sector 10 Chandigarh. The Youth Wing aims at sensitising the community about the mission of the organisation and will be instrumental in planning and executing activities at it’s end.

In January 2017, starting a new innings with GMCH, Sector 32 at Chandigarh. Nanhi Jaan decided to extend full support to the children there, replicating the PGI model.

The start of the New Year brings with it new hopes, aspirations and a wish for a better tomorrow. In this spirit, Veeranwali Foundation, under Project Nanhi Jaan, took up the critical issue of neonatal mortality in GMSC-16. The hospital was facing an acute shortage of baby incubators and phototherapy units, and our team  installed 14 units in GMSH 16. This has helped in considerably reducing mortality in this age group. The mortality rate is down from 12/1000 kids to 1/1000 kids after the supply of baby incubators. A high-end ventilator, with an ABG machine worth  ₹14 lakh, donated by Nanhi Jaan, a project of Veeranwali Foundation, was officially inaugurated on 7 January 2016 by Mr Anurag Aggarwal, Home Secretary, Chandigarh.

On January 1, 2016, Team Nanhi Jaan celebrated New Year with children at village Masol – a village that despite being in the vicinity of Chandigarh lacks basic amenities. The land is arid and people work as labourers. Children are malnourished, under clothed and lack poor hygiene. Addiction is rampant and kids as young as 10 smoke. There is no dispensary and no motorable road leading to the village. We  distributed warm clothes, shoes, socks, stationary and goodies to children and have decided to adopt this village to help improve the level of awareness among the residents towards educating their children, bettee hygeine, etc. The event was covered by NDTV – CLICK HERE to see the TV report.
