An Update

It has been a while since the last post, welcoming you all to JGW 2011. Work on the third chapter of JGW has been going on quietly and systematically. The website of the JGW has been updated and is now more user friendly. Besides giving us an update of all the events held across India during JGW 2010, the site also makes it easier to register an event for the current year.

22 events have already been registered at the time of writing this. The old favourites, Design for Change, Vastrasamman, Home of Joy, Shadow a CEO are back this year as are many new events all of which promise to spread sweetness and joy. Sumi, has decided to literally spread sweetness on the 1st and 2nd of October, as she plans to make, buy gulab jamuns and distribute them to the underprivileged. Those who would like to be a part of this event can contact her through the JGW website. You could pledge to save this planet by expressing your solidarity with Shoobh, that aims to run an awareness campaign on forests for about 3 months from the 1st of October. There is an event for each of us, a cause each one of us can identify with and a need each one of us can cater to and fulfil.

Amongst the innovative initiatives this year is a deck of playing cards that makes it so easy for us to give, all we need to do is follow 3 simple steps : shuffle, pick and give. By so doing, you help spread joy, the Joy of Giving. To spread joy, all you need to do is click here
