How small contributions can create meaningful celebrations?
Diwali has been my most favorite festival not just because of crackers, sweets or new clothes I get but because of the brightness it gives to my soul. Diwali is a festival which symbolizes that we find light and knowledge in every corner of our lives. We start preparations for Diwali a month before, we spend weeks searching for a perfect and valuable gift for our friends and family. We get the most beautiful gifts and sweet hampers for our children to make their festival so memorable and joyful. Despite having all the privileges of celebrating our festivals to the fullest we still somehow have something or the other to complain about what more we could have gotten. But have we ever thought about the children who never get to celebrate Diwali the way our children celebrate? The children from the underprivileged background, they hardly get to enjoy the perks of a festival as we do. But celebrations become meaningful only when we celebrate it with everyone, sharing our sweets, our happiness with underprivileged children and bring some light into their lives.
We can make a powerful impact in the lives of underserved students by bringing some light into their lives. So from the past few days I was wondering how can I contribute something valuable to spread some spark in their lives and suddenly while scrolling through linkedin a post popped up in my feed and I saw an NGO named Pehchaan The Street School which works for the welfare of many students by providing them free quality education along with it focuses on the holistic development of every student. Apart from academics, Pehchaan The Street School support art expressions among their students. Currently they have about more than 1600 students registered with them across 10 centres. Every year, Pehchaan The Street School, celebrates Pehchaan ki Diwali where they provide notebooks, stationary kits, bags, eatables and much more gifts to all their students. I was so happy to found out about it.
This gives us an opportunity to contribute our bit to society the same way Pehchaan The Street School is doing to create a better future for every student and bringing the small tokens of joy in lives of innocent children which would leave a lasting impact. If you want to be a part of such a valuable cause, you can join Pehchaan The Street School either by volunteering as a teacher or you can serve as an intern through content writing to spread your valuable words in order to bring awareness among people about such a genuine cause. You can also make donations or sponsor a Diwali kit for just Rs. 300 for a student at Pehchaan The Street School. Your smallest contribution can bring the biggest smile on a child’s face and make it their one of the most beautiful memories for life.
Let us celebrate this Diwali with Pehchaan The Street School by bringing more smiles and happiness into the lives of its 1600+ students, helping them dream big and look forward to a brighter future.
