Philanthropic Endeavour - Gifting PPE Kits
PHILANTHROPIC ENDEAVOUR
Gifting PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) Kits
With the COVID-19 pandemic grappling the world, staff members
and students of our school stepped forward to make their contribution as
responsible citizens. The staff members contributed one day’s salary (INR
1,86,000) while the students of Good Earth Enterprise (run under School
Enterprise Challenge, UK based charity Teach a Man to Fish) contributed INR 42,000
from the fundraising events of the enterprise. To show gratitude to the corona
warriors, the school presented 350 PPE Kits (Personal Protective Equipment)
worth INR 2,28,000 to the Chief Medical Health Officer on May 1, 2020. The
school realizes that every small drop in the ocean can have a ripple effect on
the ocean and the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
Given Below is the Detailed Report Written by Rudransh Kantharia
of Grade 12, Member of Media Relations Department in This Context
Under the aegis of School Enterprise Challenge, our school
administers a business enterprise christened "Good Earth", with the
motive to ensure environment sustainability, while concurrently endeavouring to
lay the foundation of a developed community. Our business venture merchandises
in an array of products ranging from saplings, compost made from organic wastes
to ornate handicrafts. The students from Nursery to Grade-12 engage themselves
in this noble pursuit, and come up with unique and eco-friendly trailblazing
ideas. Adhering to the 3 R's principle,
our products such as Ganesha idols, earthen lamps, paintings, wall hangings,
jute bags and paper weights are made from waste materials.
We are keen on advocating the notion that it’s the 'people' and
the 'communities' that are the most integral aspect of a nation, the
torchbearers of tomorrow and essentially a paragon human resource. As a result,
profits collected through various fundraising events such as Parent-Teacher
Meetings are utilised in community outreach projects, such as setting up
libraries in government schools, donating geysers to old age homes, solar lamps
to a village and investing in a skill development centre at the school.
Continuing this legacy of magnanimity and philanthrophy we have
donated 350 PPE kits to the Chief Medical Health Officer, Indore in order to fight
this pandemic. Doctors, professionals and the government are putting their best
foot forward. This is a small way to show our heartfelt gratitude and
appreciation for their diligent and relentless efforts. In these dire
circumstances, all of us should stay united, optimistic and indeed, a scintilla
of hope will follow. As responsible citizens, it is our chief responsibility to
abide by the WHO guidelines.
