Activity:

After the success of its very first event conducted on the occasion of ‘World Ozone Day’, the Conservation Club 2015-16 was back with its second event- ‘Donation Drive’. The already high spirits of the club on account of the success of its first event multiplied rapidly after this event, as it turned out to be huge success too.

The idea behind this donation drive was to donate used clothes to the underprivileged kids in an NGO. Accordingly, the club decided a target for the number of clothes to be collected and decided its PR strategy. The volunteers resorted to WhatsApp for circulating messages that made the people in college aware of such an initiative. Class to class PR was also done to enhance participation. The willing donors had to hand over the clothes to any volunteer of the club, who further put them in the collection box. The drive went on for about a week and half.

Finally, the day arrived when the clothes were to be donated to the NGO.On 24th September 2015, the entire club went to the selected NGO to donate clothes. The NGO chosen was “Kanchan Foundation” situated in Vashi. The volunteers’ happiness knew no bounds when they got to know that the collection done was double the target set. The total number of clothes collected were 370. This boosted the morale of each one of them, which was evident from the beaming faces with which they went to the NGO.

The experience at the NGO was even more enthralling. The interaction with the children in the NGO was the most enjoyable time. The experience was unparalleled, which is what felt as a fruit of all the efforts put into making the event stand. Seeing the joyful faces of the children, the smiles on the volunteers’ faces got converted to grins, and everyone returned home with the same.
