A Similar Initiative Was Taken By Madhavi Kumar & the ARWA Sec A Pocket-C Executive Committee Members
During the Covid pandemic period when we were all working from home, I realized after looking over all of my clothes stacked and piled up in closets, bed boxes, etc. that I have too many, or even a large number of items that I don’t actually wear at all and would never use in future.
This led to me and my wife trying to figure out if we have too many clothes- what should we do about it! This led to the thought of de-cluttering our home and thinking about what to keep and what to dispose off.
We were then able to collect in our house a pile of “not required or excess” clothes and came to the conclusion of helping the less fortunate by donating these clothes. Throughout the year, we collected all kinds of summer and winter clothes for children and adults and also collected from our friends and relatives and donated the same to the Office Peons, maids, chowkidars, safai karamcharis, car cleaners, delivery persons, construction workers and painters and many more.
We also tied up with a NGO where clothes and household items were distributed to the needy children and adults lying sick in the hospitals and also women and children living near railway tracks, under flyovers, daily wagers at construction sites, under- privileged children in orphanages and to some of our city’s most in-need populations.
A small gesture of yours will be a boon for the poverty stricken, deprived people to stay happy during the winter season. So, show your generosity, and collect clothes and other household items so as to keep the deprived ones comfortable in the winters.
A similar initiative was taken by the Madhavi Kumar and the ARWA Sec A, Pocket-C Executive Committee members when they tied up with the NGO Goonj in October. The team members requested the residents to take out and collect their old and unused or not required new clothes, utensils, toys, books, stationery etc. and drop off the same at the two Camps organized by ARWA in the Colony during October. The residents participated with zeal and donated generously.
This winter we urge you to spread the joy, by giving back to the community and bringing a smile to as many fellow citizens as possible. Together, we can bring happiness to the lives of many by filling in the gaps of the ever-growing monetary and material needs.
Provided below are some photographs of the Donation Drive Camps organized by the ARWA Team during this October.
