They are deprived people, not only deprived of basic resources of life, but also of love, compassion and friendship. Vidhyadhan ek umeed touches the lives of people who, more than money needs our time, who more than feeding, looks up to quench their emotional hunger. It's about extending a hand to them, speaking to them, showing empathy, understanding them and feeling their feelings. It’s about wa
lking with them, playing with them, wiping their tears, listening to them, sharing with them, singing with them, sharing jokes with them and bursting in laughter with them. As Mother Teresa has said, "It's not how much we give, but how much love we put in giving". Children and the old are the ones who need love, care and support more than anyone else. They are emotionally and physically fragile. And it becomes many a times more difficult for those who have no one around. It’s not hidden from anyone that our city has big numbers of such children and old people. Vidhyadhan ek umeed does very little things to these kids and the old. It celebrates festival with them and give them gifts. It solves their issues which may look or sound very petty for us, but for them it’s a barrier they can’t jump over without our support. Let’s be friends with them, for some time at least. Someone has rightly said that a busy man always has time, a lazy man has none. Take some time out of busy schedules. Believe us! It's joyful, it’s festive. You would relish the moments!
