Celebrate Daan Utsav 2018 by giving food to children
by Akshaya Patra NGO in India - Akshaya PatraThe joy of giving is much more than the joy of receiving. Daan Utsav is a festival of giving and it gives an opportunity to every one to contribute to the needy in some way or the other. Akshaya Patra too observes the Daan Utsav with the anticipation that numerous children will be benefitted with acts of generosity.
Somebody has rightly said, “Nobody can do everything, but everyone can
do something.” And, this totally resonates with Daan Utsav. Previously known as the Joy of Giving
Week, the Daan Utsav
is considered as the ‘festival of philanthropy’. It was launched in 2009 and is
observed annually in India during the week of Gandhi Jayanti i.e. from 2
October to 8 October. Daan Utsav gives each and every one of
us, from all sections of the society, an opportunity to do something good for
our fellow citizens. The significance of this giving week is it engages and encourages people to imbibe the ‘act
of giving’ by contributing money, time, skill or resources with the ones who
are less privileged.
The
Joy of Giving Week is celebrated
with much enthusiasm by all sectors and sections of people – Government
organisations and institutions, corporates, NGOs, schools
and colleges, and the general public. It is an initiative aimed at creating
awareness regarding various needs of the society, garnering support to tackle
these issues, and bringing about a sustainable change. With the same spirit,
The Akshaya Patra Foundation observes this giving
week to generate maximum support for its beneficiaries – the children.
