New Delhi [India], September 14: On a sunny morning of September 11, 2024, in Bithoor, 48 excited children gathered at GMS Thakkar Bappa School for a special charity event, co-hosted by the International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) and Allahabad Boot House. This event provided not only essential supplies but also a spark of hope for children from impoverished families. The event was organised by Syed Zeeshan Abbas Rizvi, who, with the help of a dedicated team of volunteers, meticulously planned every detail. This initiative reflected a deep commitment to improving the living conditions of underprivileged children. The volunteer team, made up of ten compassionate members--Ankur Kumar, Zubeen Fatima, Pummy Singh, Qamar Rizvi, Mujtaba Rizvi, Urvashree Yadav, Waquar Hassan, Sadaf Ejaz, Shahjeb Alam, and Sartaj Fatima--played a vital role in ensuring the event's smooth execution. Both IYDF and Allahabad Boot House provided extensive support for the event, contributing a wide range of supplies to the children. The donations included essential school supplies like backpacks, shoes, pencils, rulers, and coloured pencils. Additionally, basic food items such as rice, cooking oil, and noodles were distributed. To further brighten the children's day, they were also gifted with recreational items such as cricket sets, footballs, carrom boards, ludo sets, and snakes-and-ladders boards. After the distribution of supplies, the children enthusiastically participated in various fun competitions. In a drawing competition, they used their coloured pencils to sketch their visions of the world. The spoon race and balloon race filled the air with laughter as the children raced with excitement. Team spirit was fostered in the tug-of-war and sewing contests, challenging the children's ability to work together. The event was a lively mix of learning and joy, with pure, happy smiles lighting up the faces of every child. Pankaj Kumar, a representative of the families benefiting from this event, expressed his gratitude: "Many of these children's families face immense financial hardship. We are deeply thankful to IYDF and Allahabad Boot House for their support. This event has provided more than just material assistance--it has shown that our community is cared for." As the event came to a close, the volunteers gathered around the children for a group photo, capturing the memorable moments of the day. Mr Syed Zeeshan Abbas Rizvi, visibly moved, shared his reflections in an interview: "Seeing the children's smiles brings me immense satisfaction. I hope this event has inspired them to face the future with more confidence and courage." As the sun began to set, the event wrapped up with a sense of warmth and hope. It was more than just a simple charity event--it was a celebration of the children's dreams. Through their joint efforts, IYDF and Allahabad Boot House demonstrated to the children that they are not alone, that society stands with them, offering love and support. However, the collaboration between IYDF and Allahabad Boot House does not end here. This event is just one part of a broader plan by the two organisations to continue working together to provide sustained support to more underprivileged children. This sustainable charity model is exactly what society needs today, as it addresses the needs of children from multiple angles, offering them more resources and opportunities to break the cycle of poverty. In conclusion, this charitable initiative by IYDF and Allahabad Boot House brought not only tangible aid but also a deep educational impact. The children felt the care and support from society, helping to instil a positive outlook on life. This collaboration sets an example for future charity partnerships, proving that through combined efforts, IYDF and Allahabad Boot House can make a significant impact in addressing social inequalities.
