The Mayor and Leader of Brent Council handed out awards which celebrates Brent’s dedicated and hard-working members of the community. On receipt of his award, Muks Rabadia commented “I am honoured to accept this award on behalf of the mandir. It’s with Acharya Swamishree Maharaj’s inspiration that these charitable acts take place. My sincere thanks to Suryankant Jadva for the nomination and hopefully this award helps to raise more awareness about the amazing gift of blood. See you at the next blood donation session!”
