My name is Dhruv Shah. I am 17 years-old and in Grade 11 student at The JPIS (Jayshree Periwal International School), Jaipur.

Imagine travelling to school, studying for long hours together, and playing in the sun, all on an empty stomach. Frightening isn’t it? Just skipping one meal a day would be difficult for most of us. We wouldn’t be able to function too well throughout the rest of the day. Fortunately, we have the luxury of having three meals a day, keeping us healthy and strong, both mentally and physically.

However, many children all over our country do not have this luxury. The happiness they experience by just receiving one meal in a day is immeasurable. Now imagine if I can bring that happiness to many a child ! Through this campaign, I have the opportunity to convert the dreams of many children into a happy reality. I was surprised to also learn that 232 meals (for a entire year) cost just INR 1500. So if you fund INR 4500 for example you support the mid-day meals for 3 children for an entire year.

Please support my campaign and let us together contribute to the happiness of these children. The “Akshaya Patra's mid-day meal program”, not only motivates students to go to school but also ensures that they remain healthy and continue with their education.

It might seem like ‘just one meal’ to us, but it is truly much more than that to them. In addition, there is the joy we get when we help and support this program.

So, what are we waiting for? Please support this campaign and bring a smile to another child with your small act of kindness. Help spread this message on your social media platforms so that more have the opportunity to share in the care of these children and support this noble cause.
