No child should sleep hungry

Campaign Overview

Last year when I went to India, I saw street beggars using little children as props to seek money. As a father of a new born baby, those scenes were heartbreaking for me. While my son was in room amid all the possible luxury & comfort & love, these hapless kids were exposed to heat/rain/dust & probably drugged too. From that day, I always wondered what may I do in my limited capacity to stop the exploitation of those innocent souls. I started scanning NGOs working on this sectors and came to know about Akashaya Patra Foundation. It is an internationally recognized NGO running successfully mid-day meals and anganwadi campaigns to ensure that no child goes home hungry and their parents are not forced to rent the children for daily beggary. You may see in detail Akshaya Patra's activities on its website. In this regard, I will personally appeal to all of you to come forward and support Akshaya Patra's noble cause by sponsoring meals for children. The donation starts with 3 children @ 3300 rupees every year (equivalent to the expense of spending an evening in a multiplex watching movies with friends & family). I am personally committing to donate for 50 children every year. Apart from the donation, you may join Akashaya  Patra as volunteer or ambassador to spread the awareness campaign. I am looking forward to your generous support & contribution towards this noble endeavor.
