IYDF Partners with Eves Beauty Parlor to Aid Underprivileged Children and Brighten Their Future

Gwalior, India – 05 October 2024 – The International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF), in collaboration with Eves Beauty Parlor, successfully hosted a charity event on 29 September 2024 at Ram Krishna Aashram Mission in Gwalior, India. The event focused on providing practical support and emotional care to underprivileged children, aiming to improve their quality of life through essential donations and engaging activities that brought hope and warmth to their lives.

The event was organized by Visha Khatri, along with 19 dedicated volunteers from various fields. Together, they meticulously planned and carried out this heartfelt initiative. The volunteers prepared an array of supplies for the children, including clothing, books, stationery, food, and sports equipment. These donations were not only intended to meet the children’s basic daily needs but also to encourage their physical well-being by providing footballs, badminton sets, and other sports items. The inclusion of these items was aimed at sparking the children’s interest in physical activities to promote their mental and physical growth.

 

Meaningful Support: Delivering Care Through Donations and Service

The aid provided to the children included a wide variety of items such as clothing, notebooks, pencils, pens, and food supplies like wheat, rice, fruits, chocolates, juices, and snacks. Additionally, the event featured sports equipment such as badminton racquets, footballs, and cricket sets to encourage physical activity. Throughout the event, volunteers joined the children in playing sports, fostering a sense of teamwork and fun, while strengthening their bonds through these shared experiences.

 

Swami Anand, head of Ram Krishna Aashram Mission, expressed his sincere gratitude to IYDF and their partner, Eves Beauty Parlor. He noted that the donations not only improved the children’s living conditions but also opened up new possibilities for their future. “These children often lack basic life and educational resources. IYDF’s presence has brought them tangible assistance and warm-hearted care. This is more than just material support; it’s an emotional boost. We deeply appreciate the volunteers, who have shown such compassion and responsibility towards these vulnerable groups,” he remarked during his speech.

 

A Day of Fun and Connection: Gaining Fulfillment Through Smiles

In addition to the donations, the event offered an opportunity for emotional connection and memorable experiences. Over the course of the afternoon, volunteers and 50 to 85 children engaged in a variety of activities, including singing, the Antakshari game, Odd One Out, and word games. These fun interactions not only brought the children and volunteers closer but also filled the room with joy and laughter that had long been absent from the children’s lives.

 

The volunteers shared their feelings, saying, “The smiles on the children’s faces brought us immense satisfaction and peace. Watching them run on the football field, play badminton, and light up during the games made us realize that all our efforts were worthwhile. These beautiful moments inspire us to continue our involvement in similar activities.”

 

 

Team Effort and Future Plans: Laying the Groundwork for Larger Events

Visha Khatri, the lead organizer from IYDF, praised the team of volunteers and expressed her hopes for the future after the event’s conclusion. She specifically thanked Anjel Julien for his support and guidance during the event’s planning, which allowed her to successfully organize such a large-scale charity event for the first time.

 

“This has been a truly rewarding experience. The volunteers and I put our hearts and souls into this event, and we had a wonderful time with the children. Their smiles have given me a great sense of fulfillment. I hope to have more opportunities like this in the future to plan even larger events and help more children in need,” said Visha in her closing remarks.

 

The successful execution of this charity event not only demonstrated IYDF’s commitment to supporting underprivileged children but also laid a strong foundation for future, larger-scale assistance projects. With continued collaboration between businesses and local communities, IYDF is determined to further promote youth development and charitable causes globally, encouraging more social participation to ignite the light of hope for children everywhere.
