Given the difficulties being faced by people across the state, the Women's Cell of Don Bosco College, Panjim, took the initiative to reach out and offer assistance to those in need.

A few college staff visited a girl's orphanage at Siridao belonging to the Asha Sadan Social Centre, Vasco, on 12th June 2021 and distributed sanitizers and bathing soaps to help spread and foster a sense of staying safe. This initiative was taken up as part of a social outreach, a way of providing a helping hand to the needy during this second phase of the pandemic.

The conversation with Sr. Lourenca to find out the needs of Asha Sadan Centre was initiated by Asst. Professor Anaita D'costa, faculty in-charge of the Women's Cell. Principal of Don Bosco College, Dr. Cedric Silveira, and Assistant Professors Glenda Mascarenhas and Gilbert Mendes assisted in combining the efforts of students and staff making it possible for the college to render service.

Don Bosco College strives to lend a helping hand to those in need. After all, the best way to live a good existence is by lightening the burden of others.
