There is something mesmerizing about Mehndi and it’s no wonder that the ancient form of hand and feet painting has captivated the ladies (and now gents also) for years. It’s in the intricate designs that take hours to create, the deep crimson color which shines clearly on the skin, the earthy aroma that fills the air … that creates the magic.
It is this magic that we in our Social Cell wish to tap and use for a social cause. Mehndi project is a very successful project among our projects which has never failed to bring smile to the people whom we wish to help.
As an initiative of this project, a kiosk was set up in Utkarsh, fete of SK Arts & Science college in Somaiya Campus on Dec 22nd 2007. The kiosk was set up at around 3:30pm and went on till 8pm. Many eager students, staff and their kids applied Mehendi.
The conveynor of Utkarsh, Ms.Charlette Madam was highly co-operative and very helpful. She readily gave us the permission to conduct the kiosk and apart from that, she instructed the volunteers to arrange for a table etc and also encouraged us to make announcements on the stage to pull more crowd.
The mehendi ladies made good earnings and were very happy at the end of the day. They wished to be invited for more such occassions.
Let us look out for more such occassions: Let us Challenge destinies, touch hearts and bring more smiles :)
