Goonj.. a voice, an effort

                I came across GOONJ, an NGO dedicated for the upliftment of rural areas in the Sunday magazine of EENADU paper some TWO months ago. The moment I read about their efforts for upliftment of rural areas by providing necessary items such as clothes etc, I decided, I should contribute something from my side. GOONJ which was founded by Anshu Gupta , who won  Ramon Magsaysay Award for 2015 ,has developed a unique model of using old re-usuable clothes as the centre point for overall  development of a rural area.

                                                                                                                          

After interacting with Mr. Parithosh , who works at Hyderabad Office of GOONJ, I understood the working style of GOONJ. Its simple , identify an issue in rural areas and educate them towards what needs to be done for resolving the issue. And motivate them to work towards resolving the issue and in rewards you get good clothes for your contribution. Of course many others are also given , but the prime-mover of this movement is using re-usuable old clothes as driving point. This is because ,  I was explained that rural people, though may not be rich in terms of money, but they are rich in their value system. Hence you wouldn't find beggars in rural areas except in urban areas.So, as explained earlier, get work done towards benefit of their villages and in return clothes are given as a reward for their contribution instead of freely distributing the clothes.

As I was motivated by this concept, I decided to collect clothes from few of my friends,colleagues and neighbours as well. Initially , I aimed to collect atleast 100 clothes, but with help of my mom who spread out the word to all her friends, neighbours and relatives made me cross more than 300 clothes :). I was quite surprised, when after collecting the old clothes from all the generous people, the final number of clothes turned out to be more than 350.So special thanks to my dearest mom :)

The picture above is the total amount of the clothes collected and stuffed in 3 carton and 10 poly bags. I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to everyone who contributed to this drive generously and thus helping the people in need.

The following is the list of people who have contributed to this drive. I once again thank each and everyone from my bottom of my heart for lending their hand for upliftment of society.

After two months of collection, I decided to give away all these clothes to GOONJ office in Hyderabad. So , with help of my best friend Mr. D. Venkatesh and his car, we stuffed all the cartons and polybags in his car. Initially, I was bit  worried as to whether all the items can be stuffed inside the car or not, but somehow we managed to stuff them all as you can see the picture below. The items inside the car.

We went to GOONJ office in Hyderabad and had good interaction with Mr. Parithosh regarding the working of GOONJ. Finally after submitting the clothes to them , we headed back to our homes feeling satisfied that these clothes shall be put to some good use.

Below is the receipt from GOONJ about clothes received from us.

I would like to once again thank everyone and may God bless you all.

Stay Happy and Keep smiling

Solving Rubik cube video !!!

                                   

Finally after learning how to solve rubik cube , I thought of recording a video of me solving the cube!!!.So here it is presenting to you the video;).  It took me about 8 minutes to solve. But I have edited and reduced  the video to under 5 minutes for ease of watching. I hope one day I would solve this cube within a minute:). Just watch and enjoy:)

Friend of the Earth Award ;)

Just felt like sharing something from my old memories ...

I dont remember exactly how came to know about this website called "donateyourpc.in", this organization is dedicated for collecting the old , unused working desktop computers from anyone who is interested to give their PC's to them and inturn they would give it to an NGO in need of PC. I did like this concept and I had an old PC with me too, but it was not in working condition.

 I already bought a new PC and scrapped the old PC in our storage room .I decided I need to make my PC in working condition which I bought in 2002 and at ones give it to this organization. After getting it repaired for few bucks, I put my PC for anyone to take on their website on Nov 2013. 

 

My first Pentium 4 PC 

 And after two months , I get a call from these guys from NGO named Zeenath Social & Educational Organization which is dedicated for upliftment of children in rural areas by educating them  and they intend to blend technology oriented learning by making extensive usage of computers and in this process  they are in need of PC's.  I remember the call from Mr. Jamal, who was working with the organization and at that time  was running a camp in Kurnool district, called me to tell more about their organization. I was deeply impressed by their work at ones decided to give my PC to them and on January 25th,2014 the organization representatives collected my dearest PC. Later on , Mr. Jamal called me to thank me and also offered me to come to one of their conference in Agra. But due to office obligations, I did not go. 

Later one day , as a small token for my PC, the guys from Donateyourpc.in send me this certificate ;). I felt happy for this.

Thank you guys from donateyourpc.in , But now I think they have closed their organization for unknown reasons. Yet they were able to make a mark by providing the platform between donors and receivers and over 400 PC's were exchanged as far as I remember from their website. That was great achievement as far as I'm concerned and kudos to the entire team:) 

 Stay happy and Keep Smiling
