Nearly 20 schools have responded to ‘Poverty Solutions’ initiative of Shanti Ashram
It does not take much to motivate school children to help unprivileged ones their age. This can be seen from the way students from nearly 20 schools have responded to ‘Poverty Solutions’ initiative of Shanti Ashram launched on October 2.
The three-month initiative (October 2 – January 30, 2013), which has completed 40 days, is witnessing students adopting the Food Bank, Peace Cards, or ‘Hundi’ programmes, to make contributions to eradicate poverty, especially among children.
G. Vijayaragavan, Head, Youth Leadership Programme of the Ashram, says it all started with the orientation that volunteers of the Ashram made in the 20 schools.
..........
The focus is also on stressing the need to take food according to need so that wastage can be avoided. Children are made to understand that every morsel of food is precious for the poor.
These, they believe will reflect in better practices whereby the students who have in excess will learn moderation so that those who live in penury will at least get their basic needs.
