Fundraising for This Year End Let's Invest In Brighter Futures

In the photos above we see children giving away food, chocolates etc to other children. Pretty sight and admirable gesture! But more inspiring is the story behind the gesture. These kids raised the funds for the donation themselves. One child is 10 year old. He saved his pocket money for 4 months to ensure that when his parents do the annual lunch at the centre, he can buy enough Honey Bell cakes for every child. Why? because it is his favourite and he wanted all to have the fun. Another girl, 12 years old, decided to skip buying a birthday present to provide lunch to the children. A pair of siblings wanted to understand the way NGOs work but did not want to come empty handed. They wanted to give each child and see the joy on their faces.

If they can have a desire to donate to see smiles, if they can save to share what they love, if they can let go of luxuries to fulfil basic necessities of other children, can't we share our funds to ensure the underprivileged children get quality education and ensure a permanent smile on the faces of these children?

Last year many of you helped me to raise Rs. 25000. This year I am positive to receive the double support and meet my goal of Rs.50000 before 31st March'19.

Where will your money be utilised? In paying fees for schools, tuition classes, buying notebooks, pencils etc. In some projects where the children stay literally on the streets, it will be used to arrange for nutritious food, to pay medical bills and to provide with essentials like tooth paste, bathing soap etc.  

Let’s invest today to build brighter futures for India’s children!
