Team 42Gears celebrated the spirit of the new year by paying a visit to the Mathru Educational Trust for the Blind and Other Disabled and encouraging young and gifted souls to cherish every happy moment that comes their way. Aiming to bring smiles, hope, and sunshine into children’s lives, Team 42Gears made meaningful contributions that included funds to buy a treadmill and a digital screen, as well as uniforms and a drum set for children to use during their Republic Day parade. We were thrilled to see the enthusiasm surrounding our involvement, and were happy to be a part of an initiative that could bring joy and positively transform others’ lives.
