working there, they satisfy their needs. Thus, it is the

Ashray Centre:
In continuing the Bank's pledge for providing support to
HIV affected people Standard Chartered India has recently
supported
the
children
of
Ashray Centre.
Ashray centre is a local NGO
which provides residential shelter for children of 0-12 years
affected and infected by HIV /AIDS. A total of 60 children
are currently housed at the centre. The Standard Chartered
Branch staff donated generously for the mission along with
money that was available out of selling old newspapers.
School bags, notebooks and pencil were donated to each
child.
And as a token of their gratitude towards the Bank, the
children, all trained by Shiamak Davar, entertained the
Banks staff when the staff had visited the NGO to distribute
the gift items.
