Giving in More Ways than One: Bal Raksha Bharat Celebrates the Joy of Giving Week 2021
This year alongside many NGOs, corporates, government offices, schools and colleges, Bal Raksha Bharat is participating in Daan Utsav which starts from 2 October and continues for a week till 8 October. Daan Utsav or The Joy of Giving Week is a “festival of philanthropy” that aligns with our ethos, culture and values. At Bal Raksha Bharat, we’re celebrating the week by offering our time, resources and skills to our team members, partners, like-minded organisations at the grassroots, children and the community at large. Our guiding mantra is Giving in More Ways than One. We are looking at a week where each of us indulges in the act of giving with a smile on their face. The idea is simple, to celebrate the “Joy of Giving” with others.
Our CEO Sudarshan shares how Bal Raksha Bharat is observing this upcoming week with a reinforced commitment to give back to the society. Listen in!
