On the evening of June 25th, Mr Sandeep Chitnis, Hon. National Secretary, MSSI, Mumbai, and Mrs Ann Gonsalvez, Hon. Secretary & Founder Member, Chennai Chapter, met with 32 MS persons and their carers in Coimbatore. It was a great evening of camaraderie, as most of the attendees were new MSPs.

Mr Sandeep Chitnis provided an update on the grant received through the Azim Premji Foundation, including the status of insurance for MS Person, the need for a disability card and UDID card, and other relevant details. Mrs Ann Gonsalvez then presented the activities undertaken by the Chapter, particularly focusing on World MS Day and the importance of raising awareness about MS among the public.

A sense of well-being and belonging pervaded the atmosphere as dinner and the short script of “Battlers with Broken Wings” were shown.

The audience left, all exchanging phone numbers and looking forward to another meeting and may be a picnic too and special yoga classes for Coimbatore MS Persons!!
