The Task!

We are damn sure that each one of you wanted to know the variety of the tasks that the teams had taken up on the occasion of our Independence day. We will let you know each of the tasks and also the exciting journey of each of the teams in pursuing these tasks in the limited time of 180 minutes. We were more than sure that the impact this activity would create on the society would be a remembrance to recollect throughout the lives of these young Indians. The tasks assigned and performed were as follows;

Team 1 was assigned with the task of going to different houses, collect the old unused toys and distribute them among the underprivileged children. Team Classic went out on this task speaking to different residents and collecting toys one after the other. After their persistent efforts they were able to collect twelve toys. Along with these they collected bands and balloons and donated them to those children who couldn’t afford these. Team Classic were so happy seeing the happiness on the face of the kids who were presented these gifts and also learnt the satisfaction of gifting the ungifted ones.

Team 2 was assigned with the task of raising funds and buying soaps out of the funds raised so that they can be distributed among the people living in unclean places such as slums and spread awareness about cleanliness. Team Five Fingers went around  under the hot sun to different stores to collect money. They even approached doctors but were disappointed to not get any help from them. Still they didn’t give up but took it as a challenge to continue the task and finally collected Rs.620 and bought 25 soaps and 5 handwash and distributed among 10 houses and also made them aware of being healthy and clean. 

Team 3  was assigned with the task of raising funds and distributing umbrellas to the needy. In this cold weather when rains are so unpredictable this task had charged up team The Swords so much that in their rapid pace of interacting with different people, they were able to collect a massive amount Rs.1300 and buy 35 umbrellas out of it. They went around to find the needy and donated these umbrellas thus covering them with a shield during rains. The ones who received these were filled with gratitude towards these bright citizens of India.

Team 4 was assigned with the task of raising funds to buy footwear and to distribute them among those who couldn’t even afford a pair of footwear. Only when you walk barefooted do you understand the value of footwear. Can you just imagine one day in your past where you have had contact with mother earth? Probably its difficult to recollect as we are so used to using footwear. This was the same comfort that the team Sunrise wanted to provide to those who were devoid of it. With their passionate spirit they were able to raise of a fund of more than Rs.750 and donate 25 new footwear to the poor. Along with this they were able to collect old unused footwear and distribute them also.

Team 5 was assigned with the task of raising funds to collect dental kits and distribute among the poor to spread awareness about dental cleanliness and healthy way of life. This team Indian Fighters was charged up thoroughly well and a result of their immense energy they were able to collect a humungous amount of Rs.3052 and buy 110 tooth brushes and tooth pastes. Not just that, they even collected slippers, milk, chocolates and soaps from different houses and donated all these to the needy. They even celebrated a birthday of one of the kids in the slum on our independence day which was a special highlight.

We are very sure that you are really anxious to know what the other teams did and their learning. Watch out for more in the next blog!
