Kanchi Maya Tamang, a street vendor, to whom the Guhar Foundation furnished Rs 10,000 as help during the press meet, said, “I have been selling vegetables on the streets since a very long time. I have no family; my son died when he was 25 and my husband died 40 years ago. Since then I have been living alone.” Adding to that, Saraswati Sharma, another street vendor, said, “It is like a helping hand from God for us and it is all because of Guhar.”
Guhar Foundation is set to be launched formally in a month’s time.
