On the occasion of the World Post Day, a letter writing activity was organized by the Lions Club of Aurangabad, Gold for children. Twenty children of the Club members sent 200 letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, and Health Minister Rajesh Tope, administrative officials, relatives and friends. The goal is to write a thousand letters in the near future.
Project head Rachna Dashrathe gave an introduction. Vivek Abhyankar, the District Governor of the Lions Club, said, “About 40 years ago, telephone was not easily available. The speed at which communication now takes place is unimaginable. Letters were the only tool at that time. This commendable activity will encourage children to write.”
