Lunch with the Grandpas and Grandmas at SaiSahara Old Age Home
#95
#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

Helping Brainz turns 5!
We’re 5 years old.. Nostalgia, the long five years. Pains, struggles, fights, happiness, achievements and what not : however today we stand as a respectful brand in the society. People trusts us. We showed the public that community service stands more than what we call philanthropy, showing empathy and sympathy and giving donations. Thanks to everyone who stood, is standing and will stand with us. We all believe and trust each other and this positivity makes outreaches happy and that makes us *Helping Brainz*
Today also being my dad’s birthday, I wish to say one line he told me when he came to know about Helping Brainz (after two years of start), *we rise by lifting others*.
Thank you 🙂

Father’s Day Celebrations at SaiSahara Old Age Home
#AnotherMystery
Our grandparents come and stay with us, and we definitely feel the affection. Think about those grandmas and grandpas who really want to be with their grandchildren however are caged within the walls of an old age home, with no one to share and care for them. Well old age homes and the people who cage them are still a mystery!

We together watched a cricket match, shared gossips, had tea, clicked photographs and donated few vegetables. Thanks to Dr.Rajeshwari for this opportunity. People who contributed were Pratee Sudera, Gitanshu Khurana , @Kirti Tikyani, Vanshita Kumar, Parul and Yedhu Krishna Menon .

ChaipCharcha – Aghapur Village
Rural women are key agents for achieving the transformational economic, environmental and social changes required for sustainable development. But limited access to credit, health care and education are among the many challenges they face, which are further aggravated by the global food and economic crises and climate change. Empowering them is key not only to the well-being of individuals, families and rural communities, but also to overall economic productivity, given women’s large presence in the agricultural workforce worldwide” – United Nations
In a major move towards the empowerment of the underpriviledged women, HelpingBrainz.Org’s women empowerment team “Chaaya” conducted a “Chaipecharcha” with the underpriviledged women of Aghapur Village in Noida. Around 10 women participated in the event which was spearheaded by Shubhangi Srivastava, the women empowerment leader (Project Manager, Chaaya) at HelpingBrainz.Org. She mainly pitched in various aspects of women empowerment, women education, entrepreneurship opportunities, ‘need for out of box thinking’ and women safety in today’s world.
The meeting was conducted in the H-Block park of Sector-41, Noida. The women here are more interested to study and to get educated, thus, Shubhangi and team will be designing teaching programmes and a team of corporate professionals will be teaching the women on weekends.
