St. John Ambulance Association [SJA] Maharashtra State Centre is celebrating its 101 years of yeoman public service in First Aid Training to all citizens. We also undertake several social service initiatives throughout the year. It is our endeavour to target the youth of the country to spread the message and create awareness.

Garden School Christmas Party

SJA organised a Christmas party for the underprivileged children of the Garden School Mumbai, on the 20th of December 2017. Two hundred and three children in the age group of 4-5 years, participated in the merriment. These included children from three centers- Meeranagar in Colaba, Reay Road in Byculla and The Garden School in Colaba.

They were presented with school bags and other Christmas goodies and had a jolly good time playing games.

Poster Competition On Traffic Rules And Regulations

SJA organised Poster competitions for school children on Traffic Rules in order to inculcate civic sense and encourage discipline in following Traffic regulations on our Mumbai roads. This would help in reducing accidents and casualties on our roads, besides reducing traffic snarls and congestion and saving on commuter time.

• Poster competition in 3 zones in Mumbai Schools and for under privileged children.
• A Skit on “Traffic Rules” to prevent head injury & accidents at a formal function.
