The recents floods in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka created havoc affecting thousands of people.We at Pankhudi started the Sahayata drive to help collect relief material for the people in those areas.

The relier material collected were Dry ration,Utility items and Clothing.

We collected the stuff, sort out the things like clothes for men, women & children, food items, pack it in gunny bags and deliver to NGO Goonj’s office who are working on the field .

Special Thanks to our Hyderabad SPOCs : Satya,Amitabh and Ramesh

Pankhudi Pune has received a very enthusiastic response for the Sahayata campaign launched on the 20th October 2009.

Did you know that there are some underprivileged and unfortunate kids living around us who can’t afford the basic things for their living? Well, don’t just sit there, do something about it! Help us in our collection drive.

Pankhudi — A family of many in the service of underprivileged and unfortunate children of our society.

Pankhudi is spread over Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata.

Pankhudi Bangalore is involved in lots of activities like DivyaDrishti – Education for visually-impaired children,Sahayata – Pankhudi Collection Drives.The Bangalore chapter has recently involved itself with a new activity (Computer Education) at an orphanage “Anatha Shishu Sevashram” at Wilson Garden Bangalore. The orphanage accommodates around 60 kids (both boys and girls) aged from 5 to 25 years old.

The need of having a collection drive was felt after the visit to the orphanage. The Bangalore chapter has started a collection drive on 5th July and will be collecting items around the city till 19th July 2009. On Sunday, July 19 the chapter will deliver all of the collected items at the orphanage. Everyone is invited to make a donation. See around in your wardrobes – It may be wastage for you but a resource for others.

For all those who can contribute in the collection drive, following are the items you can donate:

1. Highest Priority Requirement – Sweaters and Blankets.

2. Important requirements – Cloths (any size will work, if its kid size – simply awesome), toys, sports item (cricket bat, badminton, chess), electronic item (like torch, radio).

3. Any other item which you think will be useful for the kids

You don’t want to do this alone so recruit anyone and everyone to help you out. It would be great if you can spread the word among your family, friends.Don’t worry if you are having trouble in delivering the collected items. If you get a good collection and because of “any” reason you are unable to collect it. Let us know the place or address here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cjNydXI4QUN0RUNPNFRtOVpjaGxKQXc6MA

We will be there to collect it from the specified place.
