The Support Group for COVID Warriors in Goa, which is a Trust formed by six like-minded people from all over India who have made Goa their retirement home, has donated eight ambulances -- four each to the District Collector’s Office in North Goa and South Goa -- in an endeavour to support the COVID warriors.
Led by Hemant Bhasin, who is the former President of the Rotary Club of Delhi Southend, the trustees have donated over Rs 46 lakh, of which Bhasin himself has donated Rs 11 lakh. Apart from eight ambulances, medical equipment worth more than Rs 6 lakh has also been donated by the group.
The Support Group for COVID Warriors in Goa was registered as a Trust on May 12, 2021, and within a fortnight the money was collected to achieve the trust’s objectives. The ambulances have been handed over to the South and North Goa District Collectors’ Offices, with the last ambulance delivered on July 9.
