New Delhi [India] August 23: On August 18, 2024, as sunlight filtered through the trees, it brought warmth to the Sundarpur Orphanage in Bhubaneswar. This place, once shrouded in gray, was transformed by the laughter and cheers of children during a special event organized by the International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) in collaboration with Ramakrushna Balashram. The event was led by Bishnu Sahu, with dedicated volunteers Biswojit Sahu, Nilamadhab Pradhan, Chandrakanta Pradhan, and Sipun Nayak, all carrying the spirit of love and hope. They brought an array of educational supplies and snacks for the 33 children at the orphanage. From notebooks and pens to biscuits and juices, each gift was infused with care and compassion. These simple items were more than just support for their studies—they were a source of comfort and emotional warmth for the children.
The day’s activities were thoughtfully planned, creating a sense of joy without any pressure. A dance session allowed the children to move freely to the rhythm of music, as if each step told a story of their dreams. A yoga session offered them a moment of tranquility, helping them find strength and balance within, while a personal development workshop encouraged them to build confidence and teamwork through games and interaction, laying a solid foundation for their future.
At the close of the event, Bishnu Sahu shared his heartfelt thoughts: “Seeing the smiles on the children’s faces today brings me immense joy. It reminds me of the profound meaning in helping others, and I sincerely hope to see these happy faces again in the future.”
This event was more than just an act of charity; it was an act of planting seeds of love. IYDF and Ramakrushna Balashram came together to sow seeds of hope in the hearts of these orphaned children. In time, these seeds will take root and grow, guiding them toward a brighter future.
IYDF has always been committed to promoting the development and growth of youth around the world. This partnership with Ramakrushna Balashram not only underscores their sense of mission but also demonstrates their unwavering commitment to bringing hope and change to underprivileged children. With the success of this event, IYDF sends a powerful message to the world: every child deserves a bright future, and each of us has the power to help them achieve it.
