Other Programs and Campaigns

Cloth donation campaign

After we had just finished our college, we had to keep our college uniforms unused in our homes. They were fine clothes but nobody intended to wear them while in their homes. So, we decided to collect our uniforms and donate it to needy people so that they would re-use our clothes to fulfil one of their basic needs. We started the campaign by giving it a motto, “Spread Warmth, Spread Humanity”.

Under this campaign, some of the sets among the collected clothes were distributed to some poor families staying in Syuchatar, Kalanki. The remaining clothes is now stored as a stock for the future as an emergency disaster relief. We intend to continue the campaign by collecting more clothes and distributing them to needy people as per in need.

We met many personalities and groups who were working for social change in our country. The program was very fruitful. 

Volunteering in Shivaratri, 2070

Shivaratri is a festival of Hindus praying to lord Shiva for peace and prosperity in Pashupatinath, a big temple in Kathmandu. A big crowd of Hindu pilgrims from all over the world come to pray to lord Shiva. Our organisation volunteered in managing the crowd of the pilgrims. Ten volunteers of our organisation assisted the managing committee to manage the crowd for the night.  The program was an awesome experience to our volunteers getting to serve people in such an auspicious occasion.

Volunteering Traffic Awareness Program, 2071

Give Hands Team planned to extend its reach beyond Kathmandu, so in collaboration with some youths in Birtamode, Jhapa, a branch was established in Jhapa. The members of that team gathered other youths with a will to work for the society and together they organized a traffic awareness program in co-ordination with local traffic police department. This program targeted the local people who were literate but not aware about the traffic rules.
