On August 2, 2024, the International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) partnered with compassionate social enterprises to host an aid event at the Swami Vivekananda Youth Club in Kalampalayam, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The event aimed to provide essential school supplies to underprivileged students, enhancing their learning experience and supporting their educational journey.
Organized by Deebac.S, the event saw active participation from volunteers including Mr. Jeevanantham, Mr. Ajmal, Mr. Ramesh, Mr. Dhandapani, Mr. Prakash, Mr. Sundaramurthy, Mrs. Mrudhula, and Miss. Yazhini. The volunteers distributed high-quality backpacks, pens, pencils, rulers, erasers, sharpeners, geometry boxes, pencil boxes, notebooks, ink pens, colored pencils, graph books, and lined notebooks to ten children. These supplies not only addressed the students’ educational needs but also reflected the community’s commitment to supporting education.
A key highlight of the event was the emphasis on the importance of education. Deebac.S delivered an inspiring message to the children, stating, “Life’s difficulties are temporary. While we cannot choose our beginnings, we can change our future through hard work. Embracing education and striving for excellence is the best way to transform our lives.” This motivational speech instilled hope in the children and encouraged them to persevere in their studies.
As the event concluded, the volunteers shared their satisfaction and joy in serving the community. They expressed a strong desire to continue assisting those in need and were deeply moved by the students’ gratitude and happiness. They thanked IYDF for organizing such a meaningful event and highlighted the profound impact it had on the children.
This initiative not only provided tangible assistance to underprivileged children but also showcased the community’s dedication to education. Moving forward, IYDF plans to collaborate with more social enterprises to conduct similar aid events, helping more children achieve their educational dreams and fostering a brighter future for all.
