The Mothers of our type 1 diabetes children work very hard to make sure that their child’s diabetes is well controlled and that the child has a healthy, happy life. In the process, they often come under a lot of stress themselves. To recognise the hard work of these caring mothers, on 8th March 2024, on the occasion of International Women’s day, we at HCJMRI organized a fun-filled program where these mums enjoyed themselves for a day and let go of their worries. The event which was held at the Anjuman Islam School, Bund Garden Road, Pune, included dance performances by the mothers, stalls for games and delicious food was also served.

Mrs. Shefali Bajaj, Chairperson of the CSR Steering Committee at Bajaj Finserv, who has also been supporting the Sweetlings project was the Chief Guest at the function. She greatly appreciated the mother’s hard work for their children. Dr Uma Divate (Director HCJMRI), Dr Anuradha Khadilkar (Deputy director HCJMRI), Dr Dipali Ladkat, Dr Shital Bhor (medical officers, HCJMRI) , Mrs Sandhya Gaikwad (Project Manager Social) and other HCJMRI staff were happy to see the mothers enjoy themselves on the occasion of International Womens Day.
