EDITORIAL
The first quarter of 2016 was as eventful as the previous
years for the MESCO family. Continuing its commitment to
Education the organization felicitated top ranking students
at the hands of the community leaders and role models. The
organization had organized a donor get-together at Islam
Gymkhana which was well received and attended by many
generous souls who have been supporting and
strengthening our hands. At MESCO there is a conscious
effort taken to trigger young minds on scientific issues,
sports and extracurricular activities and also to make them
aware of health issues that affect them during their growing
and formative career years. The R. C. Mahim School of
MCGM which is adopted by MESCO had organized its
Annual Day and was graced by dignitaries and guests from
the academic fraternity. Lectures, Work Education
Exhibitions, Seminars and Competitions were organized.
The MESCO family observed various days like the
International Women's Day, World Science Day, Urdu Day,
World Kidney Day and Balak Utsav. The Medical aid
continues as efforts to address comprehensive and holistic
development of the beneficiaries with events like the Eye
Camps, Kidney Share & Care Program and the services
through the Mobile and Static Clinics. Engaging the women
from various communities in optimizing their financial
independence and reducing poverty, the organization
distributed sewing machines. We are growing in every field
as an organization, with the support from many who have
been strengthening our hands to reach out to the most in
need in the populations. Another feather in MESCO's cap
has been the listing on the Bombay Stock Exchange
Website as part of the BSE SAMMAN initiative. In February
the World CSR Conference awarded us a Certificate of
Merit as Good NGO. MESCO also received Certificate of
Accreditation from Credibility Alliance under Desirable
Norms for a period of five years (2016-21). MESCO's
relentless efforts to pass benefits not only to its end
beneficiaries but also to the donors materialized in the form
of 35 AC Certificate (100% Tax Exemption) from the Income
Tax Department for some of our projects. As an organization
we are growing and hope that the Almighty keeps us going
with support and love that we are receiving from all the
quarters.
