BANDHAN
DELIVER THE LOVE!
Raksha Bandhan, a festival, a day where brothers take a promise to
protect their sisters. Taking this protection to the next level, expanding the
boundaries of protection to an unknown place but a place where there are brothers
and sisters from other mothers lead their lives! Enlightening Lives has
organized yet another fundraising activity, once again amidst pandemic!
As said earlier, the expanded boundary of protection
reached Sishugruha, an orphanage in Sangareddy. With a noble intension to help
the orphans leading their lives under hard conditions and struggling to survive
in this Pandemic, Enlightening Lives collaborated with a Rakhi artist, Who
carved personalised names on Rakhis. When this news reached the student masses,
there was a huge demand flowing for these Rakhis. With every Rakhi being
brought, an amount required to feed a toddler was being raised. Even with a
huge success of Bandhan, Enlightening Lives had to end it with RakshaBandhan
being on the troth.
POLAROID
Polaroid is a sister contest that was conducted along with Bandhan!
Polaroid contest was also conducted with the same intension as Bandhan! In
polaroid contest, Photos of students with their siblings were asked to send,
with a minimum donation of 50/- but a few pupils with bigger hearts donated
more than the minimum amount! Pictures sent by the pupils were posted on the
Instagram page. Participants were asked to fill out a google form, which had
some funky questions related to sibling fun, and after going through all
answers given by all the participants, a winner will be chosen and the winner
will receive a wonderful gift from Enlightening Lives. Polaroid ended on the 5
of August with 17 participants and the winner is awaited!
With the amount raised form both Bandhan and Polaroid, Enlightening
Lives donated the Orphanage, the food supply for a month…The representative who
went to the orphanage on behalf of the enlightening lives says she is
absolutely overwhelmed by the happiness she saw in the eyes of those children!
