Her contribution has also not gone unnoticed and her good deeds were recognised when police commissioner Hemant Nagrale honoured her with a certificate of excellence.

Sharing how she came to adopt the kids Rehana said that last year while they were about to celebrate their daughter’s birthday, she learnt of the Dnyani Vidyalaya in Raigad’s Waje Taluka and decided to speak to the principal after which she was invited to come down to the school. “The kids mostly come from poor backgrounds. Some of them didn’t even have footwear. We used up the money that we had saved for my daughter’s birthday and Eid shopping to help them,” Rehana was quoted as saying.

Despite the hurdle of travel restrictions, Rehana set up a date and went to visit the school students at leisure and found all the students to be extremely disciplined and well behaved. After spending the entire day, she decided to adpot 50 students from the school. Rehana has promised to take care of their education till Class 10.
