The members from Lions club
were on an awareness campaign to give incentive to the blind people that life
can be normal without eyesight. All four members of Lions Club of Huru are also

President Manoj and his members for finding time from their busy schedule to
come and spend the day with SPPS members to create some awareness.
Purshottam Maas is the time
for prayer, fasting and charity. All members performed Purshottam Bhagwan (Lord
Vishnu) Pooja.
Many played cricket on the
serene white sands on Nyali Beach, a session of Antakshri, swimming in the
Indian Ocean.
All members enjoyed starters
