SPREADING JOY

It was a day of pampering for 20 teenaged girls of Ashar Alo Girls Home run by The Hope Foundation as YFLO, in collaboration with Deepti Mohindar of Studio Meche, hosted them at the AJC Bose Road salon. Sprucing and priming done, the girls danced to Bolly hits like Kala chashma, Swag se swagat and Ghoomar as they continued the revelries. This was followed by some yummy cakes and a high-tea spread that everyone dug into with gusto. “As a part of our YFLO Cares initiative, our vision behind this was to mobilise resources for underprivileged children and conduct events for them that will help them get better opportunities and to enjoy themselves as well,” said Shilpi Choudhary, chairperson, YFLO.
