"Sustainable growth to build a better future."
World Nature Conservation Day - 28th July, 2021

To be able to conserve and protect nature, we must become an integral part of the growth as well, and accept that whatever happens to the environment will eventually affect us as well.

In this illustration, artist/illustrator Kritika Bagodi has shown the growth of both civilization and nature. In her works, she shows human hands as part of nature. In this illustration, the hands are the branches of the plant, tying together all living things.

There is one thing we all have in common and that is this beautiful environment we've all been gifted. It's our collective duty to preserve and honour this gift, for us and for the future generations. Hope this art made by our in-house artist Kartika Bagodi on the theme, "Reimagine, Recreate, Restore", inspires us all.

You are all aware about the Covid crisis in India. The major metro cities are somehow still managing with the existing infrastructure and supplies from outside India.
However, the towns and small cities are the ones who are really struggling and are facing enormous sufferings beyond our imagination.
Help us with your donations for oxygen concentrators for towns and small cities in Tamil Nadu.
Donate for Tamil Nadu:

India has been reporting over 400,000 Covid cases per day and hospitals in India are running out of beds and oxygen cylinders as these facilities are not equipped to cater to these many patients at once. The OVBI team is working hard during this moment of crisis to provide COVID relief in Tamil Nadu...

*Save Lives in India - Fundraiser for COVID Relief*
A war like emergency has emerged due to new round of Covid-19 pandemic spread across India and OVBI is stepping up relief efforts by providing much needed Oxygen Cylinders to people in need across the country. Since there is a low availability of hospital beds for critically serious patients, providing much-needed portable oxygen cylinders to those who are home quarantined is the only means to aid in their survival and treatment while staying at home. To put things into perspective, INR5000 ($70) is the starting price for 2-hour supply of Oxygen.

Any donation, big or small, is greatly appreciated. Please note that this will be a tax deductible donation.

*Please share the donation link with others and save more lives.*
