New Delhi— 1 September, 2018 — In
their endeavor to increase support for elderly care, Wishes and Blessings, a
Delhi-based NGO, organized a flash mob at DLF Promenade, Vasant Kunj, in association
with Ramjas College and Institute of Home Economics.

50 students from two Delhi University colleges partnered

current situation of the abandoned elderly of Delhi/NCR, and the need to give
them the love and dignity of life they deserve. The performance was held at DLF
Promenade on 1st September from 5pm to 7pm. Performers danced to
popular retro Hindi music, in theme with the organization’s aim to increase
awareness about love and care for the elderly. After the event, the
organization’s founder officially started the countdown to the organization’s
fourth charity pop up- WB ACT 4. Eminent personalities were seen at the flash
mob, grooving to the tunes, and expressed their enthusiasm for the pop-up.

About Wishes and Blessings
Wishes and Blessings is a registered NGO based in Delhi. Set
up under the aegis of Dr. Geetanjali Chopra in 2014, the organization cuts
across the spectrum of gender and age to help those who need it. The NGO is a
unique platform to connect donors and beneficiaries, to bring together those
who are blessed to help those who have unfulfilled wishes. They believe that
happiness is not just an end, but a means to an end as well, and therefore do
not have one focus area but 9 causes among which are skill development,
infrastructure, education and hygienic food. Currently their focus area is the
poor and elderly of Delhi/NCR. They are doing their part to counter this problem
by building their first old age home. Called “Mann Ka Tilak”, the home was
opened in April 2018 and aims to give the elderly the respect and dignity of
life they deserve. This is part of their long-term project to build a chain of
old age homes across India. For more, please visit their website (wishesandblessings.net) or send them
