Umang
Foundation says – “Promote Education by investing a rupee!”
Since 2008 Umang Foundation, a Mulund based
registered NGO, has been focusing and working towards promoting education
through its various initiatives. One of the key project of Umang Foundation is
“Promote Education” under which the financially weaker and under-privileged
students of the identified schools are provided with the stationery kits for
the entire academic year. As June marks the beginning of the academic year with
most of such identified schools, Team Umang is geared to provide this
assistance to more than 10,000 such students this year. Team Umang has its volunteers from all walks
of life.
Amrit, a young enthusiast student says “Umang
Foundation has helped me understand the value and underlying power of a rupee.
I mean, can you imagine just one rupee which sounds so insignificant can
actually secure an academic year for a student? While I cribbed about my always
insufficient pocket money, I can’t believe that a rupee when rightly used could
have such a magical effect. I am so excited and can’t wait to be there for this
stationery distribution drive of Umang Foundation in June 2012.”
Vivek Dehariya, an IT professional and member of
Team Umang said “Oh, this is one event I never like to miss. This year also I
am looking forward to actively participate in and gather more cherish-able
memories by witnessing thousands of happy fulfilled faces of these needy
students.” Laju Dalal, a working lady
and member of Team Umang was overwhelmed with her experience during the
previous year’s drive stated that “Once
you experience this joy of giving, am sure you cannot resist participation in
this drive year on year even though it involved back braking work and endless
tireless efforts for months to be this together. You just want to do everything
possible and that too for a NGO like Umang Foundation is like cherry on the
cake.”
Ashish Goyal, Founder of Umang Foundation, when
questioned about this initiative, stated that “Team Umang works very committed
and dedicatedly throughout the year for this stationery distribution drive
which is typically carried in June. We have always believed that education is
paramount for every child and hence “Promote Education” has always been one of
our key initiatives. There is a lot of homework involved but Team Umang always
makes it possible to progressively increase the number of the beneficiary
students, year and year. He further said that “This June too, Team Umang is
geared up to double the number of beneficiary students from that of last year.
I pride the efforts of Team Umang and keep my fingers crossed.” He then smiled
and concluded saying “In this harassed inflation environment we are here to
re-define the value of One rupee ....like the belief of Team Umang is - ...there’s
more to life... we would also say ...there’s
more to your rupee...”
