Patna, Bihar, October 5, 2024 — The International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF), in partnership with Heedful Infra Developers Private Limited, organized a meaningful charity event at Government P.S Chakaram Anchal School in Patna. The event aimed to support 66 underprivileged children by providing essential learning materials and food rewards, helping to improve their educational environment while also bringing joy and care through a series of interactive activities.
Event Organizers and Volunteers
The event was led by Mr. Ashish Ranjan Mishra and was strongly supported by a dedicated volunteer team. Among the volunteers were Sandeep Gaurav, Pream Deep, Sujeet Kumar, Harsha Raj, Anil Khatri, Sanvi Kumari, Varsha Kumari, Prince Kumar, Palak Kumari, Mahi Kumari, Aman Kashyap, Arman Yadav, Ritesh Kumar, Anuj Gupta, Kumod Kamat, Vishwajeet Singh, Sameer Sharan, Anjana Singh, and Suraj Kumar. This group worked tirelessly, contributing their time and effort to ensure the event ran smoothly and that the children had a memorable day.
Supplies of Care: Supporting Children’s Education and Daily Life
The event focused on providing a variety of educational and daily supplies to help the children better succeed in school. Each child received learning materials such as geometry tools, including rulers and toolboxes for better understanding of math, as well as notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, and pencil boxes to assist with their studies. The children were also given art supplies, including drawing books and coloured sets, to encourage creativity and self-expression. To reward their participation, each child received a selection of snacks, including biscuits, chocolates, chips, mixed treats, and nuts.
These thoughtful donations not only met the children’s immediate needs but also made them feel cared for and appreciated throughout the event.
Interactive Activities: Games and Fun for All
To make the event even more engaging, the volunteers organized a range of fun games and interactive activities. The children enthusiastically participated in indoor quiz games, drawing competitions, and outdoor badminton and volleyball matches, showcasing their creativity and athletic abilities. The atmosphere was lively and filled with excitement as the children enjoyed each activity.
The event coincided with the celebration of the important Indian festival, Durga Puja. Although part of the school grounds was occupied by large tents and a statue of the goddess Durga, the volunteers skillfully created a joyful and interactive space within the available area. Principal Kumari Padmaja opted to hold the activities indoors due to concerns about the weather and traffic, ensuring the safety of all the children involved.
Community and Government Support
The event garnered significant attention and support from local authorities and community members. Three officers from the local police station—Abhinash, Sonu, and Kuldeep—along with entrepreneur and local council member Rathore Kanishak, were present at the event. Their participation not only demonstrated their support for the initiative but also highlighted the community’s dedication to helping vulnerable groups. Mr. Rathore Kanishak pledged to continue supporting IYDF’s charitable work and committed to offering more assistance at the local administrative level for future events.
Volunteer Reflections: A Meaningful and Inspiring Experience
After the event, Mr. Ashish Ranjan Mishra reflected on the day, stating, “Distributing supplies to underprivileged children always brings a wave of emotions. I feel a profound sense of fulfillment and joy, knowing that IYDF is making a positive difference in these children’s lives. Seeing their smiles and hope for the future is truly inspiring.”
He added, “Through this event, we built meaningful connections with the children and the community. We recognized the many challenges these children face in their daily lives, and it’s clear that our efforts can bring real change. Witnessing the children’s happiness has motivated all of us to continue helping more children in need.”
Impact of the Event: Bringing Hope and Opportunity to Children
This charity event not only provided much-needed supplies to 66 underprivileged children but also inspired them through engaging activities that sparked their interest and potential. The collaboration between IYDF and Heedful Infra Developers Private Limited offered these children tangible assistance, while also giving them hope for a brighter future. The event demonstrated the vital role that community support can play in uplifting vulnerable children.
Looking ahead, IYDF remains committed to partnering with more businesses and volunteers to help even more children, improving their lives and creating opportunities for a better future.
