Helping hand

In the first place, we are all humans and we have a lot to be grateful for. I am sharing about someone with helping hands, who is a human working towards positivity in this world, for the betterment of this society. Positive vibes can be felt from a distance and today I’m talking about a person whom I haven’t met physically, yet he is my Godfather. He is truly an inspiration. I call him G”Ji” and he has been always helping in the moment of crisis. What brings him to my blog is his latest drive.

He is associated with Daan Utsav.

It’s India’s festival of giving and joy, which is held every year from Oct 2 -Oct 8.

Daan Utsav is a beautiful concept in itself. It’s about taking out time of our busy schedule and daily chores and routines.
Going beyond our own lives, to touch someone else’s.
In other words, Help can be in many ways….time, effort, money, and many other dimensions….one can choose what suits best for the person.
Donation is not the only way, It can be done by giving your time, Making food and distributing, get the things they need from your resources, etc. Be a volunteer.

Meet G”Ji”

Not to mention, He introduced me to his teamwork by a society that is working for the betterment of society with there efforts for people. It’s the 10th year they are entering with this beautiful thought of helping others. It’s a community effort by people of society.

They have a Facebook page too with the name sterling terraces.
They have been associated with Daan Utsav for a long time. I got this opportunity to share their work this year.  The following members are actively involved in this event…. Kaveri, Lata, Girish, Nitasha, Pallavi, Sandhya, Rajan, Srinivasan, and Sudhir. Sorry if I had left someone on this list.
Let me brief you on what is his team’s efforts for Daan Utsav this year.

This year It’s a collection drive for a special school for visually challenged.

We take our sight for granted but think of those who know only darkness, they are excluded from basic things just because the vision is not there. We have to give them a normal social environment because people who are blind can function equally effectively as others.
There are billions of children who due to blindness remain illiterate and are excluded as separate. We have to bring them and make a part with us.

Notably, the team has therefore focussed on the needs of our special friends.

This being the blind school their needs are different…

• Taking about 5000 Braille sheets for their use so they can be more literate and never miss out on information.
• Monthly ration supplies for the school so their basic amenities are met.
• School uniforms, shoes and socks for them. Education creates no difference, it’s only the way of teaching that may differ.
• Teaching aid in the form of play laptops for kids that have an audio interface in them.

Their team is Light in Darkness!

As an illustration, there were various events like Club sandwich making, Food for Change, Taking care of our daily helpers, Donations, sharing smiles, etc.
Sharing is caring when given from the heart with pleasure.

The Joy of Giving is an ongoing process. Giving for the right reasons gives joy and happiness not only to you but in many lives you touch.

This is part of my Positive Humans series I have been writing on people who are an inspiration, motivation with their attitude of gratitude and ever helping nature. There are many unsung real-life champions who have helped or contributed towards the betterment of our society. Let’s learn from them and be a helping hand to others.
