With the support of School Principal and their ever supportive staff, children from Aster, Noida were motivated to collect school stationery items and related stuffs for the affected and underprivileged children from Kerala. The stuffs packed and transported by Helping Brainz.
We salute the students and teachers for their dedication and hardwork. Thanks to Aster Noida and to Helping Brainz Team Members Unnat Bansal, Neha Babu, Surbhi Dhingra and Pragya Aggarwal who dedicated their weekends for the cause.

Helping Brainz didn’t have a team in Aurangabad, and we just had Gopikaa Didi working for Helping Brainz from Aurangabad. When Helping Brainz started collating the flood relief materials, we contacted Gopikaa Didi who works as a webdesigner and educationist in Tender Care Home Aurangabad and shared an idea. She spoke to the mentor/Director of her school Mrs. Shailaja Kekre and she made children realize the situation in kerala which also made the children socially aware and responsible from school days Itself.
The followup and hardwork of making the children socially aware was all done by the Mentor/Director Mrs. Shailaja Kekre mam. Tender care students , Sahajayiga Meditation Aurangabad and Vaidya Academy collated school stationaries and pulses.
Taking inspiration from them other institutions also started supporting and thereby youngsters started volunteering for Helping Brainz, and today we have a team theThanks to the wonderful work done by Vaidya Academy, Sahajayoga Meditation Centre Aurangabad and Principal Madam Mrs. Sheet Kekre, Director; Mrs. Shailaja Kekre and Staff OF Tender Home Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Gopikaa Vaidya, Vishal Thore, Shashank Saraswat, Sagar Maali, Shrikant Kulkarni, Prathamesh Tapadiya Vijay Prajapati and Kabir Kulkarni.

Old Age Home from Delhi Supports Kerala Floods
#MatterOfInspiration
#KeralaFloods
From the day our team started working for Kerala Flood Victims there have been numerous stories to inspire many of our young Helping Brainz mates. The story of Sai Sahara Old Age Home, Rajendra Place, Delhi was one among them.
The day we decided to send materials to Kerala, we shared socialmedia broadcasts and news about the same to all our friends, colleagues, connected-corporates and organizational partners. It was then Dr.Rajeshwari, the founder of Sai Sahara Old Age Home called us and agreed to donate 50KGs of Rice, Sugar and Pulses to the Victims. These were the donations the 17 grandmas and grandpas received for their livelihood however they had the opinion that “let the needy get these items, they are in need of these items more than us”.
Helping Brainz ElderlyCare Projects Team is working with Sai Sahara Old Age Home for the past few years. We humbly salute Dr.Rajeshwari Ma’am and all grandmas and grandpas for their divine love towards humanity.
