Delhi – Winter Clothes Donations Drive 2017
#97
We are not sure about the counts and stats, of how many shivers in the windy nights of December, particularly the ones who freeze under the bridges, in front of the temples and the monuments and in the underpriviledged sections of the capital. However – A pat on the back, a cup of tea and some warmth means heaven for them. On the night of December 30th, 6 of HelpingBrainz Brainz team mates along with few of the likeminded individuals, thought of sacrificing their cozy warmth for making them comfortable on December 30th Night, travelled throughout Delhi distributing clothes, food packs, biscuits and tea sponsored by people and communities from various parts of Delhi. Ranging from babies (2 months old) to age old (above 90+) from Old Delhi, CP, Sarai Kale Khan, Areas surrounding to Yamuna Pushta, Gandhi Nagar and Bangla Sahib were provided with clothes, tea and eatables. It was just a plan, we made 4 days back – while travelling in a cab and which was executed with all divine beauty :); a pat on the back to Vineeth M. Sadanandan for orchestrating the entire event in a short span of time.
Happiest Moment: When we made a baby wear clothes, she started clapping

Lunch with the Grandpas and Grandmas at SaiSahara Old Age Home

#StraightFromTheHeart
The concept of OLD AGE Homes still gives us a question mark, thinking about the subtle mental condition of a son or a daughter which makes them think of sending their parents (who made them make their first step) to an orphaned state at an Old Age Home. Today’s technological revolution is making more and more old age and shelter homes to come up, because in this money making materialistic world we are forgetting the value of love, being loved and giving it back to the needy.
On behalf of Shraddh or Shraddha (a ritual wherein we honour our great grandparents and beloved) we visited Sai Sahara Old Age Home at Todapur, Rajendra Place and made the grandpas and grandmas stretch their wrinkles, smile at least for a short while. The event was conceptualized and sponsored by Mr.Rajesh Arora (Good Enough NGO) and Orchestrated by Meenakshi Paswan (Old Age Home Projects Leader, HelpingBrainz) and Dr.Shweta Yadav (Volunteer, HelpingBrainz).
It’s better to serve, honour, help and at least love them when their alive rather than calling a function to remember them.
LoveYourParents
LoveYourGrandParents
Because
You’re soon going to be in their shoes

HelpingBrain of the Month
Today being Vijayadashmi, we happily launch ”
“. A programme, conceptualized by Nidhi P. Menon (Nidhi Didi is a HelpingBrain from God’s Own Country), aims in identifying a HelpingBrain every month from various walks of life.
How’s a HelpingBrain?
The concept of being a HelpingBrain: We believe everyone is a Helping Brain, everyone is blessed with something unique skill and we try to enrich and furnish the skill set for community development, as we strongly believe that knowledge increases on sharing. Thus HelpingBrainz is a not an NGO however a phenomenon.
Stay tuned to hear about the First HelpingBrain from October 2017. For further information and to nominate someone please write to Nidhimenon@helpingbrainz.org
