2 LARGE CLOTHING DRIVES

Image
February to March was a very uncertain time in India. While the pandemic had not yet reached us, predictions of its onset were on every news channel. Knowing it was only a matter of time, we decided on conducting a clothing drive, in an attempt to supply orphanages and shelters with clean clothes for what we knew would be a difficult time ahead.  We created multiple posters, and sent them around to everyone we knew, requesting them to donate any spare clothes in good condition they may have. The response was absolutely overwhelming. People were eager to help, and we quickly got to work, packaging the clothes and sending them to the aforementioned orphanages and shelters.  Due to the success of the first clothing drive, we shortly conducted the second one, and the response was just as heartwarming. Both times, we had to hire trucks to transport the clothes to their destination. Below are images of both clothing drives.

Food Drive At Infant Jesus Children Home

Recently, Dhyeya Organisation  organised a Food Drive with Village Story India, whereby we distributed food to every child In Infant Jesus Children Home, a sanctuary for young children affected by the HIV virus. Often abandoned by their families and boycotted by society, this home is a sanctuary for those affected by the deadly disease. This was performed on the day of Diwali, an auspicious Hindu festival celebrated by the entirety of India, as a way for the little children to join in the celebration nationwide. We supplied food for approximately 40 children combined. Additionally, we also visited a nearby preschool, and distributed food to the infants present there as well.
