Happy birthday, dear reader!
So where’s the party going to be? We simply love birthdays! There’s such an air of excitement – of the gifts you will receive, the heartfelt wishes that make your day, the big or small bash you’d share with your loved ones – each moment of the day is special. This year, we’d like to make a small suggestion to make your day a little extra special.
Give a return gift to a child who is #HungryForSchool.
There are millions of children in India who do not go to school, as they work to earn their daily meal. At Akshaya Patra, we give them a ticket out of this vicious cycle. We provide them with a hearty lunch at school. Does it work? There has been a spike of 28 per cent in enrolments this year, and it is directly attributed to the food we serve.
So how much does it take to feed a child who is #HungryForSchool? Rs. 750 is enough to feed one child for a whole academic year. We ask you to make a small contribution on your big day, and make a huge difference to a child’s future. This year, have a blast, or have a quiet party, but share a slice of your joy with a child who is #HungryForSchool. Give him/her a return gift of Rs. 750.
Plz. Give me full details about u r project. And how we can evolved with u.

I Ve a couple of my best friends whose birthdays are coming up. Is there any way I can contribut on their behalf and wishes sent to them?
It is great idea ! I have piggy bank & I collect & save of Rs.5/- & Rs.10/- denomination coin the whole year which amounts to any thing between Rs.3000/- to 5000 as per precedence. The amount collected the whole year is donated to Mothers homes or chetna the orphanage. I intend to give this years collection to your organization on my birthday ie on 3rd.August 2014. How & where will be able send my piggy bank with its collected amount . If I have to add any thing more to the collected amount for the noble cause you have taken on, I will be happy & blessed.

Could you share your phone contact here or writing a mail to infodesk@akshayapatra.org with subject ‘Blog response’
I wondered about this idea. Instead of spending money on inviting guests and spending money on food and offering return gifts, i thought i would donate to akshaya patra mid day school program. Akshaya patra is doing most noble work and keep it up guys.
Thanks

Hi Kishore, that is very kind of you. Your generosity on your birthday will have made a child’s day extra special too. It is through acts of kindness like this that we can help spread joy in the lives of children in India.
