• Feast of hope projects: Aside donations in various forms to orphanages and needy communities, we had our annual Christmas project which is feast of hope. We believe Christmas must be a happy time for all but unfortunately the needy is usually left out. At Christmas, we go to deprived communities, orphanage homes and spend quality time with the children as well as the aged, gave the children toys, books, food and showed them love etc. We provide children up to the age of 12 with new toys and books, clothing, shoes etc. We also gave needy families or the aged a large food hamper full of everyday food items including a few extra luxuries to help them enjoy the Christmas holidays.
• Lending a hand- donations: Under our lending a hand project we support children and the aged from education to health screening and donations. Different people donate various forms of items to our outfit from individuals groups and organizations, which help us to reach out to the less privileged as well as people who need it the most. We receive intermittent donations as and when, which includes items such as food, water, clothing, books, shoes, playing items and sometimes money. These items are sent to people in the rural communities and urban slums.
