Only three more days and the third chapter of JGW will begin and we have 308 events registered on our website already. The number of events this year will definitely surpass that of last year. Some events are old but many are new and we delight to note that many more individuals are coming forward to organise events. This is important and it has been our refrain that when each one of us stands up to be counted, we can make a difference. We need to believe that our contribution to spreading joy by giving, however insignificant it may seem to us is one of the many seemingly insignificant acts, all of which collectively lead to change.
When the idea of JGW was first mooted, one wonders whether those initiating the idea had themselves visualised the extent of support. That support for the JGW has been immense is undeniable. The media, the celebrity, the government, the men, women and children all over India, in a tearing hurry to get on with their lives, have all begun to pause, they have begun to think about how they can contribute to the lives of others meaningfully and it is humbling to note that many feel that participating in the JGW will enable them to enrich the lives of others. And so we declare 308 and still counting........
Joy of giving Week, 2nd to 8th October
