"Gifting Happiness 2010" is a poverty alleviation and social empowerment concept of "Association for Welfare Activities for Rural Development" (AWARD). As a part of this concept they wanted to bring happiness into lives of street children of Hyderabad on the eve of New Year 2010 by distributing clothes, sweets etc which they will be collecting from all the people.So please go through the attachment and be a part of this noble programme by contributing whatever you want as mentioned in the attached document. Let this New Year start on a different and most satisfactory note for all us, the satisfaction which is more than what we get from all kinds of celebrations.

Come let us join hands to see that sparkle in the eyes of hapless children!

Thanks!

Pradeep

Wonderful initiative...I am sure everybody can find something to give this time of year.
We tend to store so many things in our houses, so many clothes...and we don't even use or wear all of them.
How many times our children grew up so fast that they didn't get the chance to wear some of the clothes we've bought for them?
Let's do at least that, let's share something from heart, let's do a small gesture that might mean so much to these children. They have every right for a decent life, they have every right for living their childhood, they have every right to smile.
I forwarded the link to this topic and the attached file to all my friends and aquaintances from India.

Good Idea, what about gifting them books of NCERT, cheap, relevant and most useful.

I think there will be many to give sweets and clothes but its better if we can know about these children and can provide books for the concerned classes.

just a thought don't know can be work out or not....!!!!

Thank you so much Manjari for your response and kind concern.
Thank you so much Raj for your initiative to spread this message even in Chennai. I'm very glad about this and actually this message should spread across all over India.
Shipra, I thank you for your concern of making them read and I'm afraid that they doesn't even know how a school looks like and what studying is all about so their primary need is clothes and something to eat so that they also can celebrate New Year with happiness like we all do. The distribution of books will be taken up in near future after identifying the poor who are in real need of help in the form of books etc. so that they can continue their studies.
Thank you all once again for your wonderful support which is quite overwhelming.
Cheers!
Pradeep
