New Delhi [India], October 9: On the afternoon of September 27th, 2024, the International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) partnered with Samatol Foundation to organise a heartwarming charitable event at the Swami Vivekanand Manparivartan Kendra orphanage in Mammanori village, India. The event brought essential stationery and daily necessities to 29 children while filling their hearts with care and hope for the future.
The event was meticulously organised by Dr. Aakanksha C. Mahadik, with the support of five dedicated volunteers: Akash Salunkhe, Kanchya, Santosh M, Kanta Agawale, and Ranjana Rajpoot. Set at Samatol Foundation's Swami Vivekanand Manparivartan Kendra, a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting orphans and impoverished children, the initiative aimed to provide much-needed supplies and, through interactive games, make the children feel the warmth and care of society.
Thoughtful Preparation for a Smooth Event
Preparation for the event began several weeks in advance. Dr. Aakanksha learned about Samatol Foundation through a personal referral and reached out to the organisation's director, Vijay Jadhav, for in-depth discussions. After thoroughly understanding the foundation's operations, Dr. Aakanksha verified the institution's credibility through its website and Google business listings. Following detailed discussions and careful planning, she and her team finalised the arrangements and identified the needs of the children, ensuring that the event would offer meaningful support.
Donated Supplies: Delivering Warmth and Care
During the event, IYDF donated a variety of essential items, including stationery, daily living supplies, and hygiene products. The children's faces lit up with joy as they received new school bags, notebooks, pencil cases, and other educational materials. These items not only met their everyday needs but also reminded them that they are cared for, inspiring hope for a brighter future.
Additionally, IYDF and the volunteers thoughtfully prepared hygiene products to help the children maintain good health and habits. Although simple, these supplies conveyed an abundance of love, allowing the children to feel the support and care from those around them.
Engaging Activities: Boosting Confidence Through Fun
In addition to the donations, the day was filled with fun and engaging activities. The children joined the volunteers in singing, playing chess, and kicking around a football. They also enjoyed a lively trading game. These activities provided the children with joy and helped them develop important skills like teamwork and communication, building their confidence in the process.
After lunch, which the volunteers shared with the children in a warm and harmonious atmosphere, the children were given their donated supplies. Many of the children, smiling and full of life, expressed their gratitude to the volunteers, and the event concluded with laughter and fond memories.
Fostering Hope for the Future
Reflecting on the event, Dr. Aakanksha said she felt deeply happy and grateful to bring joy and hope to the children. "Seeing their smiles made all the hard work and effort worth it. We hope that through events like this, we can spread love and encourage more people to care for those in need, instilling confidence in these children for their future."
Vijay Jadhav, director of Samatol Foundation, also expressed his sincere gratitude to IYDF for their generous donations and the volunteers' selfless dedication. He noted that events like this not only improve the children's quality of life but also give them hope and motivation for a brighter future.
Building a Bridge of Compassion and Lighting Dreams
This event was not only a result of the combined efforts of IYDF and Samatol Foundation but also a symbol of the collective compassion of society. Each donated item and every word of care was like a ray of sunlight, brightening the lives of these orphanage children. IYDF is committed to organising similar charitable activities to bring love and hope to more children in need, helping them find confidence and purpose in difficult circumstances.
In the future, IYDF plans to continue partnering with charitable organisations worldwide, hosting more events like this to support disadvantaged groups. As stated in IYDF's mission, "Caring for the growth of every child and lighting the flame of hope," every event like this represents another step toward making these children's dreams come true.
Through this act of kindness, IYDF and Samatol Foundation provided not only material assistance but also built a bridge of compassion, raising awareness about the needs of vulnerable children. The warmth and care the children felt on this day will serve as an enduring source of strength as they grow, opening up endless possibilities for their future.
