Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 21: The smiles of the children at Janki Sanskar Kendra orphanage were brighter than ever. On the afternoon of 18 September, the International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) joined hands with Tap For Tech and a group of dedicated volunteers to bring much-needed educational and living supplies to over 36 children at the orphanage. The event was not only about material support but also offered the children a chance to interact with volunteers, share their dreams, and look towards the future with hope.
A Warm Beginning: Tap For Tech's Initiative
The event began with the thoughtful initiative of Rajendra Gupta, the head of Tap For Tech, a leader committed to social development and children's well-being. He led a team of 13 volunteers, including Shivang Singh, Aroosh Singh, Priyanka Sahu, Harshita Srivastava, Saket Mishra, Karishma Tandon, Kashmira Dixit, Vineet Kumar, Shubham Tiwari, Arpit Tripathi, Hrithik Singh, Anshika Verma, and Versa Gupta. They were united by a common purpose--to bring hope and support to these children in need.
Their destination was Janki Sanskar Kendra orphanage, located in Dayal Basti, Gomti Nagar, which has long provided shelter and education for underprivileged children. Despite their efforts, the orphanage continues to face numerous challenges due to limited resources, making the support from IYDF and Tap For Tech invaluable.
Donations: A Lifeline of Hope
During the donation phase, IYDF and Tap For Tech provided a variety of supplies to the children, including:
* Notebooks, to help the children record knowledge and write down their dreams;
* Pencil sets and colouring kits, to support their education and artistic expression;
* Snack packs, giving the children a treat to enjoy alongside their studies;
* Rice and lentils, to ensure the orphanage has essential food supplies;
* Water bottles, offering convenience for daily hydration;
* Daily essentials such as shampoo, soap, hair oil, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and detergent, to promote good hygiene and health.
Every item was carefully selected to meet the children's basic needs while also contributing to their growth and development. These seemingly simple items played a crucial role in improving the children's daily lives, giving them the tools they need to succeed.
Volunteers' Dedication: Genuine Care and Companionship
As the volunteers arrived at the orphanage, the children's eyes lit up with excitement. For these children, external support is not just about material aid--it is a source of emotional comfort. The volunteers interacted with the children warmly, engaging in conversations about their dreams, goals, and current studies.
The volunteers were not just there to distribute supplies; they became friends and mentors to the children. By listening to their stories and helping them plan their future, the volunteers made the children feel valued, building their confidence in facing life's challenges.
A Peak of Hope: Looking Forward to a Bright Future
The highlight of the day came when the volunteers and children discussed their dreams for the future. The children eagerly shared their aspirations--some wanted to become teachers, others dreamed of being doctors, artists, or engineers. Each dream, supported by IYDF and Tap For Tech, felt more attainable and within reach.
Reflections After the Event: The Joy of Giving and Receiving
After the event, Rajendra Gupta reflected: "Helping these children brings immense happiness. Our volunteers not only gave but also received a lot through this experience. By learning about the children's needs and goals, we realize that there is much more to be done, and IYDF and Tap For Tech will continue to support these children in their journey to achieve their dreams."
The volunteers also shared their thoughts: "Every moment spent with these children showed us their longing and hope for a better future. This event not only allowed us to help them overcome immediate challenges but also created an emotional bond with them."
Conclusion: The Endless Power of Love
The collaboration between IYDF and Tap For Tech was not just a simple donation event; it was an act of nurturing and caring for the children's hearts and spirits. Through this initiative, the children received not only material support but also felt the warmth and love of society.
Looking ahead, IYDF and Tap For Tech plan to continue organizing similar events, helping more underprivileged children on their journey to a hopeful future. Every child deserves a chance at a bright future, and we will keep working to make those dreams a reality.
