In August 2024, a heartwarming charity event titled “Care for Children, Spread Warmth” was successfully held at Happy Homes in Kovil Palayam. Organized by the International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) and led by Ms. A Usha Nandhini, the event received significant support from benevolent enterprises such as Rio Shopping Zone and various community members.
The event saw the enthusiastic participation of several dedicated volunteers, including Mrs. Sindhu, Mr. Arun Prasath, Mr. Suraj, Mr. Rajan, Mrs. Vanitha, Mrs. Radha, and Ms. Shree Varshini. Their selfless contributions and enthusiasm infused the event with love and warmth.
On the day of the event, volunteers arrived with a wealth of essential supplies, including stationery, rice, pulses, groceries, pillows, mattresses, soap, detergents, coffee powder, sugar, oil, and gifts for the children. These items were critical for the children at Happy Homes, providing them with much-needed support.
Happy Homes is a charitable organization dedicated to helping children who, due to family and social circumstances, are not receiving adequate care. Although the institution continually receives aid from society and kind-hearted individuals, the demand for everyday essentials often exceeds supply. After identifying the children’s needs, Ms. A Usha Nandhini and her team made every effort to gather the required items.
The event officially began at 6:30 PM and continued until 8:00 PM. During this time, volunteers engaged with the children through games, motivational talks, and fun activities. Seventeen children participated, enjoying a delightful and memorable evening with the volunteers.
Ms. A Usha Nandhini shared her thoughts, saying, “This was a beautiful and unforgettable moment. Both the children and the volunteers had a wonderful time. The donations and the time spent were immensely valuable for everyone involved.” Her words reflected not only the high regard for the event but also the aspiration to continue such charitable activities in the future.
The success of this event was made possible by the meticulous organization by IYDF and the generous contributions from supportive businesses and individuals. It is hoped that through these charitable efforts, more vulnerable children will receive the warmth and hope they need. The aim is to encourage more societal participation in supporting disadvantaged groups, thereby creating a better future for these children.
