With the Diwali fervour comes deep cleaning of our abodes, to welcome home Maa Lakshmi and her grace. With most of us grappling with lots of stuff coming out of our almirahs and different corners of our homes, discarding stuff no longer in use is a big challenge. Sometimes it could be some of your treasured belongings you now want to part with just because it no longer serves any purpose and you do not want to just push it into a cupboard just to find it again the next Diwali. Giving away things that you had so lovingly bought and cared for is difficult and you want these things to reach out to people who would value it and use it properly.
For this, Lyness Club Sampoorna and Social Vision, headed by Mamta Agrawal, has come up with a charity box that is placed in the community centre. As a club they have learnt that used things when given free of cost are not valued enough and can go to waste therefore, they came up with an innovative idea of a Charity Mall that is situated in Najafgarh.
All the used items collected from the charity boxes (one is placed in Suncity, there are twelve more placed in other societies) are segregated, some of the old clothes are recycled by making cloth bags, clothes in good condition are put up in the mall from where underprivileged people can take them according to their needs. Similarly, books are also kept in the charity mall and provided to people who need them on a returnable basis. Lyness Club Sampoorana under the leadership of Mamta Agrawal with the support of President Neeru Sehgal, Secretary Prabha Mehta and many other enterprising women from Suncity are together working towards the cause of upliftment of the underprivileged, sustainability, circular economy and the 3 Rs that are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
So, this Diwali lovingly say goodbye to your used items by putting them into the charity box in the community centre and wish that they reach someone who really needs them.
