Entire nation is in shock, people from across India are extending their solidarity with the victims. Campaigns are underway to raise funds, edibles and clothes to name a few to enable victim rebuild their life though the stains left will take years to bury. Celebrities, sportsmen, business houses, academics and media among others are coming forward to play their bit in bringing smile on the faces of victims desperately in need of support in the hour of crisis.
Kids for a cause
While on a morning workout, a team of kids selling edibles at the popular Prahalad Garden in Ahmadabad engrossed my attention. A small banner in the backdrop demonstrated their identity Kids For A Cause, said everything. I couldnt control my eagerness to know a bit more about them.
In the year 2014, while sipping a cup of tea with my friends,
this idea nurtured in mind. Objective was to inculcate ethos in kids, at the
same time, encourage them to play their role in social transformation,
remarked Naomi Mistry, one of the mentors and founders.
Contribution for Kerala flood
This innovative campaign is currently raising funds for Kerala flood victims. Selling soup, idli, fruit salad, the team comprising of Taasha, Aanya, Anoushika, Janmejay, Preet, Amaira, Aaryan and Mitansh is planning to contribute Rs 10,000 in the rehabilitation of flood ravaged Kerala.
When asked, how do you feel, Aaryan said, It feels good to give something back to society. In the past, we ran similar campaign for Kashmir and Chennai natural calamity.
Hats off to the team, mentors for a thought provoking fund raising for altruism! Whatever may be your contribution, however small it could be, it could be a game-changer for the hundreds of flood victims! Bear in mind, to stitch a torn shirt, to put it on once again, you need a small needle, costing Rs. 1 and a thread, costing Rs 5. Even one rupee matters! Lets together rebuild collapsed Kerala, enabling our brothers and sisters in Kerala to make a new beginning!
