Baradwari (Jharkhand) [India] August 20: a heartfelt initiative aimed at spreading joy and providing educational support, the International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) partnered with Loofal Protech Solution Pvt. Ltd. to bring aid to the children of Missionaries of Charity Orphanage in Baradwari. The event, held on August 15, 2024, was led by Vikash Kumar, with the active participation of a dedicated volunteer team, ensuring its success.
The event took place from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, during which 16 children from the orphanage received a variety of aid materials. The volunteers, including Bishakha Kumari, Tara Pati, Shanu Kumar, Amit Kr Thakur, Aditi Das Gupta, Shalini Singh, Manpreet Kaur, Rishab Raj, Abhay Choudhary, and Shivam Prasad, played a crucial role in the smooth execution of the event.
The aid provided to the children went beyond basic necessities, encompassing items that contribute to their holistic development and happiness. These included fruits, sweets, soft toys, building blocks, puzzles, crayons, and colouring books. Additionally, the children received educational materials such as number boards, children’s encyclopedias, complete stationery sets, and board games. To ensure their well-being, hygiene products were also distributed, with interactive sessions emphasizing the importance of personal cleanliness, including proper handwashing techniques and healthy eating habits.
Beyond the distribution of supplies, the volunteers took time to engage with the children, playing games and offering educational support. Activities focused on maintaining personal hygiene, understanding good and bad touch, and creative expression through colouring, all of which stimulated the children’s creativity. This time spent with the children was about giving and sharing knowledge, creating memories, and imparting life skills.
For the volunteers, the experience was deeply moving as they formed meaningful connections with the children. Vikash Kumar reflected on the emotional impact of the day, saying, “We are so glad to have been part of this event, and the most gratifying aspect was knowing that we made a difference in the lives of these children. The time spent with them was both touching and emotionally enriching.”

The smiles on the children’s faces and the warmth in their hearts were the true rewards of the day, reinforcing both organizations’ commitment to continuing support for such noble causes.
This event not only brought immediate help and happiness to the children but also laid the groundwork for future initiatives that will continue to nurture and support their growth. As the volunteers left the orphanage, they did so with a profound sense of accomplishment and a renewed commitment to bringing positive change to the lives of vulnerable children in the region.
