IYDF and Plant N Pots Provide Education and Food Aid to Slum Children in Delhi

New Delhi [India], October 5: The International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF), in partnership with Plant N Pots, successfully hosted a charitable event at Sarv Samaj Foundation in New Delhi. The initiative aimed to provide essential food and educational supplies to children living in slum areas, while also sparking their interest in learning through interactive games. The event, organized by Junaid Ahmad Khan, brought together 60 children for a day filled with support and engagement.

Aid Supplies: Supporting Education and Daily Needs

Volunteers distributed a range of food and learning materials to help the children, who face difficult living conditions, gain much-needed support. The donated items included wheat, rice, and cooking oil, along with snacks such as chips, biscuits, chocolates, and burgers. For beverages, the children enjoyed Frooti, adding a refreshing treat to the day.

In addition to food, the children received educational supplies like notebooks, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, and rulers, as well as sports equipment, including footballs and badminton racquets. These items not only addressed their educational needs but also brought joy through the snacks and recreational materials, enhancing their overall quality of life.

Volunteers: Bringing Care and Support

The event was made possible by the active participation of seven volunteers: Reena Kumari, Gaurav Vishal, Manjeet Singh, Harsh, Pawan Singh, Pragati, and Ranjan Biswal. The volunteers not only helped distribute the supplies but also organized games and activities, establishing strong connections with the children. Tusharkant Kuanr, head of Sarv Samaj Foundation, was present throughout the event, ensuring everything ran smoothly.

Event Highlights: Learning and Fun

Starting at 11 a.m. and continuing until 2 p.m., the event featured a knowledge quiz and a badminton competition. The knowledge quiz tested the children’s general knowledge and learning abilities in a fun, engaging way, boosting their interest in learning and expanding their knowledge. Meanwhile, the badminton competition offered the children and volunteers a chance to bond over sports, improving the children’s physical fitness and strengthening their relationships with the volunteers.

These activities created a relaxed, joyful atmosphere, allowing the children to learn and play while feeling the care and support of the broader community.
