It is New Year 2020!
Woo-hoo!
It is time to celebrate and spread smiles. Happiness is prevalent in every nook and corner of the city we live in – lights glowing in every street, neon signs flashing in front of every shop, people wishing ‘Happy New Year’ to passersby; everything seems so full of energy. This is the scene of people like you and me, who are very fortunate to have every happiness in this world.
Let us now switch to a scene of New Year 2020 in Mahesh’s life. Mahesh is a student of VII standard studying in a Government school of Telangana. Buying new clothes or eating out with family in a fancy restaurant is only his desire. Eating even two meals a day is a celebration for children like him who need support through online donations.
Let this 2020 be a year of giving. All children have the right to live their dreams. Doing some reverse calculations makes us realize that their dreams are linked to a base - being healthy. And they can only be healthy when they eat the right food that provides them with adequate nutrition. Getting the right type of nourishment with financial situations as dire as Mahesh’s is one humungous task.
This New Year 2020, let’s make it a promise to encourage many little dreams. Wondering how you can do so? Honestly, it is not a very difficult job.
It could be something as simple as supporting school meals of children. For example, to feed school going children with healthy and nutritious meals, you can choose to donate to The Akshaya Patra Foundation. You can be a volunteer, a knowledge partner or a donor. You can feed children instantly by making online donations. If you want to be an active part and volunteer, you can get to know more about it here.
Akshaya Patra is an NGO in India, registered under Section 80G, that works towards children’s cause and believes that no child should be deprived of education due to hunger. Every day, it feeds 1.8 million+ children with mid-day meals across 51 locations of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Chattisgarh, Daman & DNH, Delhi, Gujarat, Karnataka, Odisha, Rajasthan, Maharashtar, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura and Uttar Pradesh. Be a part of Akshaya Patra and change million lives by doing your bit. Making a donation will instantly give you a donation receipt and tax exemption certificate.
When you decide to donate ₹1100, you sponsor a child’s meal for a whole year! That means you will be providing 232 meals to a child every day s/he goes to school. Isn’t it satisfying to know that it is because of you that one child will go to school to eat healthy meals? When they eat the right food daily, they will be able to perform and concentrate better in class. And who should we thank for making this possible? YOU!
Make someone else’s NEW YEAR 2020 a HEALTHY ONE!
DONATE to make a child’s year a great one!
