CB BureauGulf Oil Lubricants India Limited (GOLIL), one
of India’s leading lubricant brands, organised what was called ‘Foster A Child
Drive’ in Mumbai.
GOLIL fostered 60 underprivileged children
from orphanages including Our Lady Home, Shelter Don Bosco, and Seva Sadan. These
children joined families and groups driving the car.
‘Gulf Oil Lubricants is proud to continue its
legacy of hosting the Foster A Child Drive initiative, which is now in its
second decade. The essence of this drive is to build a strong connect between
these children and the privileged sections of the society. In the years to come,
we intend to scale up this event through larger participation”both at corporate
and individual levels. This will lead to a larger fundraising activity and
amplify our efforts to give back to the society,’ said Ravi Chawla, managing
director of GOLIL.
Foster A Child Drive is held once a year in
Mumbai and picks children from two to three adoption centres/underprivileged
children’s institute for a day to participate in the drive. The participating
cars are usually driven by a family or a group of friends, along with their
children and an underprivileged child.
