Mother’s Day is a modern celebration honouring one’s own mother, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world. This year Mauritius celebrates Mother’s Day on Sunday, 31 May 2015.

YUVA has come up with an idea of celebrating this day with 5000 mothers. On Saturday, 30 May, 500 YUVANs would be found on streets of Mauritius with 5000 Mother’s Day cards to greet mothers – young, aged, married, widow. While greeting those 5000 mothers with cards, YUVANs would share some words of gratitude to each of them too.
