Volunteers from the MSSI Team helped people to visit whichever stores took their fancy. MSSI provided lunch coupons so people could eat at the food outlets of their choice.

MSSI reports, “Along with the patients, the caregivers relaxed and could get a few hours of respite.

"Lots of photos were clicked and everyone enjoyed this outing.

"We were touched by the fact that such a simple thing as a visit to a Mall could bring so much joy to these families. Enjoyment is not something that you can find, it’s something that YOU can create.”

"We are thankful to caregiver Mrs Kiran Nashikkar & Mrs Varsha Sajnani for cosponsoring this enjoyable outing."

The outing was planned and organized by Mrs Janaky Krishnan, whose husband has MS, and Geeta Mirchandani of MSSI. Devraj Krishna’s family treated everyone to ice cream. His son Dhruv helped the people with MS a lot, along with MSSI volunteers Krishna & Vicky.
