Ayudh - Awaken Youth; Unite for Dharma

Diwali is the wonderful festival of lights that brings prosperity and joy into our lives. But this is not the case for street children who are struggling for livelihood. On Diwali day AYUDHians at Ahmedabad celebrated the true essence of Diwali by distributing Diwali Sweets and Food to street children and families who live on the street of Thaltej behind Cambay Grand, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. They personally met the children and families, wished them Happy Diwali and distributed Sweets and their favorite food items!

Due to the COVID situation, only the leaders of AYUDH Team could go out for the distribution.

"I see these kids every day and was feeling bad about their condition. Whenever we celebrate any festival, I think about them and wanted to share our happiness with them. The greatest lesson that we learned from Amma is that 'Happiness is in Giving'. Through these occasions, we really experience this." said Ms. Anushree Pandya, Chapter Coordinator, AYUDH Ahmedabad.

"This was the best Diwali for us. Children and their family members were so happy. It was a pleasant surprise for them. They would not have got good food on this Diwali day otherwise. We feel, the celebrations become complete and more joyful, when we share whatever we have with others", said Mr. Deep Ghosh from AYUDH Ahmedabad.

After bringing a sweet smile on their faces, the AYUDH volunteers returned with a filled Heart, once again experiencing the joy of Selfless Giving!!
