Anything helps, from 10 rupees to 10 thousand, anything tangible that will push us one step closer to this goal will be highly appreciated. We aim to conduct online webinars and therapy sessions for children who have been through the horrifying experience as well as for children going to school every day, exposed to the possible danger.
