Yajat and Prahlad's campaign for Vibha

  

My name is Yajat, and I am a 6th grader. To me, fundraising is a very fun and exciting activity because there is a lot of action, interaction and communication involved.  I choose to support projects for children because I want them to have the same kind of love and life that I am privileged to have, or at least good shelter, food, decent clothes and an education.  I became aware of Vibha because of the first Vibha project that took my interest.  

For this first project, I went to the Street children school and shelter called “CorpIndia” at Gulalwadi Municipal School, Bhuleshwar Mumbai.  When I finished this I googled their website and felt I could use the little skills I have to raise funds for the children supported by Vibha. 

Some of the fundraising projects/ engagement projects that I would like to organise in the year 2020 are:  

• Swimming 6000 meters with my brother (0n 1-Feb 2020 @ Hiranandani Forest Club Powai).    
• An obstacle course race at a mall.    
• Children’s Clothes donation drive. 
• A fun day for the street children by organising a nature walk, a movie at a cinema. 

My aim is to collect ₹200,000 (Rupees 2 lakhs) by May 31st.  I request you all to help me meet and exceed this target and support these children through Vibha.
