Last evening I got to be part of an initiative undertaken by Aviva, The Telegraph, 91.9 Friends FM, City Center and Emami Starmark among others for a noble cause: Education for All, the lack of which plagues our Great Country.
The concept is to get citizens to donate their old/new books and create The Great Wall of Education and these books will be given to underprivileged children.
I got there in time to witness Raima Sen at the event to propagate her support for the cause.
It was heartwarming to even see young kids come out and do their bit. In a country as immensely populated as ours, education is a burning issue, especially for those that can’t even afford two wholesome meals a day. And only education can bridge the gap.
I am cheering for the people who’ve started this initiative and hope to see The Great Wall of Education grow to towering lengths, widths and heights and hope all Kolkatans to support this cause.
All you need to do is go to City Center, Salt Lake by Sunday 05 September 2010 and donate your books for this cause.
nice initiative.... :)
