Kathy Calvin very rightly stated that, “Giving isn’t just about making a donation, it’s about making a difference” and I couldn’t agree more. I really feel that if we are in a position to help someone by contributing something meaningful,our small gesture of kindness may help change someone’s life forever.
In a world like ours, I truly believe that it is our individual responsibility to be the change we want to see. We, the privileged, tend to overlook the simple things in life while these very “simple” things are regarded a luxury for the economically challenged who do not possess it – Education being the most important one. In India, education in the rural segments is not only important to eradicate poverty and illiteracy, but also for a variety of other social,economic as well as cultural and political reasons.
I’m participating in the TATA Mumbai Marathon to raise funds for meritorious students from underprivileged backgrounds. The Nargis Dutt Foundation has made significant changes in the lives of many students who have been successful in bagging jobs in prestigious companies today. I, along with my trusted team members,will be working closely with Nargis Dutt Foundation hoping to make a remarkable difference in the lives of India’s future by supporting the education of 25 children.
I urge you to help bring a smile on a child’s face and help us fulfil his/her dreams.
