New Delhi [India], September 6: On August 19, 2024, the International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) teamed up with Chocolate Tree Cake Shop to host a heartwarming charity event at the Balgram SOS Children’s Village in Pune, India. The event aimed to provide essential supplies and emotional support to underprivileged children, bringing hope and joy through interactive games, material donations, and knowledge-sharing activities.
The event was organized by Sanjog Vishwas Barge, supported by a dedicated team of 12 volunteers, including Abhishek Kishor Jadhav, Komal Anil Matte, and Rehan Shaikh. Starting at 1 PM, the volunteers spent five hours with the children, creating an afternoon filled with laughter, care, and meaningful connections.
During the event, the volunteers distributed a wide range of essential items to 32 children, including basketball equipment, cooking supplies, snacks, cooking oil, flour, badminton sets, cleaning materials, milk, and footballs. These donations not only addressed the children’s daily needs but also provided them with new opportunities for sports and learning. The basketball and badminton sets, in particular, gave the children more options for physical activities, helping them improve their health and boost their confidence.
In addition to the material support, the volunteers provided emotional care through activities like storytelling, book giveaways, and games. These interactions sparked the children’s curiosity and fostered a strong bond between them and the volunteers. The games brought smiles to the children’s faces and helped them feel a sense of belonging, while also giving them the motivation to grow and thrive.
Sanjog Vishwas Barge, the event organizer, shared his thoughts in an interview: “It’s an honor to be able to help so many underprivileged children. Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter is incredibly rewarding. The volunteers also loved the experience and are eager to organize another event soon.” He added that the caregivers at the children’s village expressed their deep appreciation for the efforts, noting that the volunteers made a significant impact on the children’s lives.
This event was not just about providing material aid–it was about emotional and personal connections. The collaboration between IYDF and Chocolate Tree Cake Shop demonstrated society’s commitment to supporting underprivileged children and embodying the spirit of “Helping others, shaping the future.” By participating in such charity initiatives, IYDF and its partners aim to create a brighter tomorrow for disadvantaged children.
The volunteers left the event feeling inspired, realizing the profound joy that comes from helping others. They expressed their desire to continue participating in future charity efforts, hoping to bring more warmth and care to children facing difficult circumstances. Their commitment reflects the long-term goal of helping children overcome life’s challenges and pursue a brighter future.
IYDF remains dedicated to partnering with diverse sectors of society, taking concrete steps to bring hope and support to underprivileged children, and helping them achieve their dreams.
