About one week back , we organized a drive for collection of old clothes , old shoes etc in our colony , (for donating to the homeless and destitute) . It was done in collaboration with “Care n Share “ , an NGO doing good work in this area . The unique features of the drive were :--
1. We involved the “children “ of the community as volunteers for contributing towards the “field work “ .
2. We told the “field workers” that they will request the occupants of “servants’ quarters “ also for donation . The youngsters had an apprehension! “The servants will say that they are poor themselves . So how can they donate anything “. We told them the “poor” can also donate many things for use by the homeless . More important thing is that they will feel good by doing the donation .
It was a huge success . Some photos are presented here . Mr Srivastava ( the main force behind this NGO ) can be seen resting / sitting on the bundles of the collected stuff ( a tired but satisfied man ) . I am wearing yellow T in the photos .
Your comments /advice are solicited for making the exercise more effective ( because we do this every exercise every 4-5 months ) .

6 年Great plan Vijay! Thank you for making a piece of the world that you live in a little bit better! I hope that more people will mirror the kindness, blessings, and awareness of our dear humanity thru great examples such as this and synergy will follow. Thank you. I too also found that the economical poor area that I grew up in, that overall, the people actually gave much more- not out of status enhancement or recognition, but out of compassion, love, and a natural understanding of how hardships of life could really be like. (From Humbleness and open hearts.)
