During the Covid pandemic period three years back when we were all working from home, you would have realized after looking over all of your clothes and other items stacked and piled up in closets, bed boxes, etc, that you have too many, or even a large number of items that we don’t actually need at all and would never use in future.
With this thought in mind, Madhavi Kumar,Treasurer, ARWA, Sector A, Pkt C tied up with the renowned NGO, Goonj that has been doing pioneering work in this regard for many years.
A Collection Centre was set up at the ARWA Office on 20 April. The Team members requested the residents to take out and collect their old and unused or not required clothes, books, copies,stationery items, toys and games, e waste including computer peripherals etc. and drop off the same at the Camp organized by ARWA. The Camp was a big success and the residents participated with zeal and donated generously.
These clothes and household items are distributed by Goonj 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.
Let us this Summer and beyond, declutter our closets and cupboards and box beds and see what all clothes and household items are not required. Donate these to reliable and well-known NGOs and charitable organizations such as Uday, Goonj, etc.
A small gesture of yours will be a boon for the poverty stricken, deprived people to stay happy during this harsh Summer season. So, show your generosity, and collect clothes and other household items so as to keep the deprived ones comfortable.
This Summer,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.
