Diwali Dress for the Underprivileged - Please Donate

You must be very happy if you have already purchased or plan to purchase a dress for Diwali. But who will bring smiles in the faces of the underprivileged for Diwali? Team Everest NGO plans to help. Team Everest buys and distributes Diwali dresses to the underprivileged with the donation you make. Your donation may make bright the Diwali for a parent-less kid, an elderly person in an old age home, a visually challenged person, a rural kid, or a roadside person wearing torn clothes. Most of the children and their parents choose their own dress from the cloth shops. 

I know Team Everest NGO for more than 10 years and they do a good job. For Diwali 2019, I have  donated for the dresses for six kids. Can you also pitch in?

Smoke-Free Bhogi Rally at Nageswara Rao Park on 13th Jan

Special children of AIKYA, parents, special educators, Team Everest volunteers, Lions club members, Mylai police, and Chennai Social Service volunteers participated in a walk in Nageswara Rao park, Mylapore on 13th Jan at 7:30 am. Everyone carried a placard that had slogans about the ill-effects of burning old things on Bhogi day.

Devarajan, Lions Club President (of Chennai &Padi) and Rajkumar, Secretary of  Team Everest, flagged off the walk. The participants shouted slogans and walked the entire stretch of the park. As there were several enthusiastic health freaks walking in the park, the slogan " Burn your calories, Do not burn trash" was very apt. 

This is the first activity of the Social Responsibility Cell(SRC) of Serve India as well as AIKYA. The police, Ms. Parvathy of AIKYA, Kartheeban and Rajkumar of Team Everest spoke a few words about volunteering and bad effects of air pollution. Prema of Team Everest had taken great pains (cycling included!) to make the placards and flags at the last minute. Overall, it was a very successful and happy event for one and all.
