After bagging 11 District awards last year, RC Thiruvannamalai Pearls, D 3231, kictstarted the new Rotary year with the installation of 12 new female members. The all-women’s club, instead of hosting a grand gala, set out the same day to distribute stationery kits to an orphanage — Epahtem —and donated utensils to the Aswanagasuranai Little Heart Home, another orphanage in Chennai.
In order to repair the pipelines and construct a compound wall at two panchayat schools in Chennai, the club members donated ₹50,000 to them.
With the help of PDG Sampath Kumar the club donated tricycles to a few physically-challenged people and planted 100 saplings in Ilandhalir, near Thiruvannamalai.
