Every
day we wakes up with lots of enthusiasm, strength and passion to do many things
for others, but the end of the day we get back to bed with tiring face,
confused mind and a guilty thought that the day was too busy. Each time when we
see a mother at traffic holding her child, we tend to close the car window and
turn our heads towards other side, but we love to tell others that I love
charity and I have helped so many people in several ways but most of our
charity works are not recognized.
During the week of ‘Daan Utsav’ many corporate, individuals and benefactors
come up with their portion of charity to different orphanages and the people in
need. As a non-profit organization, Lovedale foundations also accept and
encourage charity. We look after 350 children from orphanages and quarries to
provide quality education, nutrition and skill development trainings with the
help of volunteers and other like minded individuals. There are companies that
visit the school. They spend a day with these angels. Most often they come with
an attitude of giving, but by the end of the day they realize that it was not
just a day of giving but rather they themselves have a lot to take back i.e.
they had lot of happy memories too…
The children are also benefited from the visit of
the companies, they get to see a lot of people, learn the art of communication
and interact with people. The children get an ambition looking at them to come
up in life, to get out of this vicious circle of poverty. The Banyan Community
School is known for its unique way of bringing up the underprivileged children.
The school is surrounded in an Eco- friendly atmosphere, where children get an
equal opportunity to learn and develop and also explore the latent talents in
them.
Several
individual donors choose to be part of charity works to get a tax exemption,
sometimes even without knowing the cause of why they are donating for. But the
small or big donation can make a big difference in the life of people we serve.
As the saying goes on “You don’t have to be poor to serve the poor”.
