This is a different kind of blog post. I am posting this for the twestival which is on for the benefit of NGOs. The money generated will be donated to a charity which one chooses. So, friends if you feel strongly that you can do something, please be that and do.
Much has been written about the giving in print and bandied about in the e-media. But, considering the close to 120crore population of our country, it is never enough and never sufficient. the least each of who can think, and feel for the under previleged, is to do something that is practical and do able than preach about the same. Its like this, by writing this blog, i will be spending my 10 minutes, the thoughts go around the people, who dont have shelters, who dont have a square meal a day, can't afford schools, but will benefit from the large hearted efforts of common people like u and me by those ngos which are nurturing them. If you can't donate money, no issue. Please donate ur time, talent and any other thing which you feel, will make life better for those, who dont have those.
I would like the amount generated from this blog be donated to India Literacy Project.

I found this post through Twestival. Perhaps you will be interested in this initiative as well: www.rangde.org
The FAQ section will give more information. This is a post (http://blog.rangde.org/2010/10/lets-give-their-dreams-hues-of-reality/ ) written during Gandhi Jayanti last year to promote the cause. While there is no substitute for good governance, civil society initiatives like Rang De offer a promising model in which (i) there are inbuilt measures of progress in terms of loan repayment percentage etc. (ii) self-image of aid recipients is duly respected (a donor cannot even waive the interest on his/her loan) (iii) the donor technically need not spend any money! (since there are only loans with near-assured return). It will be great if you could spread the word about this initiative.
