Just read about Human Touch, a Nagpur based NGO, participating in the JGW to raise resources to 'serve the young'. They will be participating in the India Giving Challenge that is a part of JGW. The name Human touch, seems so apt to describe the essence of the JGW. In this week, we hope by performing the act of giving, strangers reach out to each other, a human touch as it were. Going by the number of events registered at the JGW website, 82 at the time of writing this, (though we are sure many more would have been planned but not registered), many young people are coming forward to reach out and help. That is hearening. What is also encouraging, is the link between the corporate and the NGO. We have written about this earlier, but think it is worth mentioning again because any such linkage is beneficial for the NGO has a mentor and the corporate gains in tax breaks and enhances its image in the community to name just two.
Coming back to the events registered, like last year they cover a wide range of areas, like organ donation, education, health awareness, resource mobilisation, working for change to name just a few. For those who would like more details about the events and how to participate, visit us at www.joyofgivingweek.ning.com. With the JGW just 2 weeks away, there is'nt much time and we need to act fast if we are to make a bigger impact this year than last year.
Meanwhile here is another press report:
