<strong>How</strong> <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong><br />
Enables Children<br />
Dream About A<br />
Successful Career<br />
Doing online fundraising for <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong> can support the organization in their<br />
pursuit of giving every child’s <strong>dream</strong> a chance
Online fundraising is easy but what kind of cause does it serve? Does it help in fulfilling<br />
someone’s <strong>dream</strong>? There are so many <strong>children</strong> who aspire to become someone like M.S Dhoni,<br />
Neerja, M.F Hussain, C.V Raman, Rani Lakshmi Bai, A.R Rahman, and others. There are <strong>children</strong><br />
such as 14-year-old Shekhar who wants to be a chef; or Shivu who’s an aspiring astronomer or<br />
Manjula who wants to be an actor – who have been given wings to pursue their <strong>dream</strong>s.<br />
As part of an initiative called Giving Every Dream a Chance, <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong> is encouraging<br />
<strong>children</strong> to <strong>dream</strong> <strong>about</strong> a <strong>successful</strong> <strong>career</strong>. While <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong> is already feeding over 1.6<br />
million <strong>children</strong>, let’s help the organisation spread its wings. We can do so by engaging in online<br />
fundraising and coming up with non-profit fundraising ideas.<br />
This is how <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong> is a huge motivation to <strong>children</strong>-<br />
1. The belief that they’ve got a support<br />
With the help and kind support of philanthropic donors, <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong> has been able to<br />
make the <strong>children</strong> believe that they aren’t helpless, they’ve got a support in their<br />
pursuit of learning and living a better life. Knowing that there are people who care<br />
<strong>about</strong> him, 14-year old Shekhar got a chance to do a month-long internship with Chef of<br />
Vivanta by Taj, Chef Ramasamy Selvaraju. So let us join hands for <strong>children</strong> like him.<br />

2. The feeling of freedom<br />
The beneficiaries realise that it is because of the kindness and love of so many people<br />
from all over India that they are free from classroom hunger and are able to make a<br />
choice between study and work. A 14-year-old Manjula – a beneficiary of <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong><br />
– got an opportunity to intern at the Bangalore School of Speech and Drama under the<br />
watchful eyes of its Founder-Director Dr. Zulfia Shaikh. She honed her speech and acting<br />
skills and came back as a changed and a more confident person. Donating a little<br />
amount to charity is the least we can do to support these <strong>dream</strong>s.<br />
3. Breaking the chain of hierarchal poverty<br />
At a very young age, most of the <strong>children</strong> from economically and socially backwards<br />
families of our society go through hard emotional, physical and mental conditions. They<br />
are deprived of even the basic amenities that we often take for granted. But this needs<br />
to be changed and education is a great way to do that. It’s good to know that many<br />
<strong>children</strong> from these families understand the importance of education and realise that<br />
their conditions can improve if they get educated. With the same hope, <strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong><br />
has reached out to over 1.6 million <strong>children</strong> in India. In order to benefit more <strong>children</strong>,<br />
we must do our bit either by donating to charity or by implementing one of the nonprofit<br />
fundraising ideas.<br />
<strong>Akshaya</strong> <strong>Patra</strong> has a vision that no child in India shall be deprived of education. The organisation<br />
is sincerely committed toward it. There are millions of <strong>dream</strong>s that are yet to be fulfilled.<br />
