Never doubt that a small group of committed
people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has...
--Margaret Mead
The Crusader family has embarked on a
mighty task of collecting 2.5 lakh rupees to purchase leather cutting equipment
required by Dr.Bandorwalla Leprosy Hospital, Kondhwa, Pune. But even the
mightiest of task can be accomplished through small steps of kindness.
This small step was taken in form of
‘Paper Collection Drive’ which was held on 15th
August 2012 and 26th August 2012. I truly believe this small stepping stone
will definitely prove to be a milestone in our future efforts.
Volunteers from Crusaders divided
themselves into teams and enthused across different parts of the Pune, covering
areas like Vishalnagar, Aundh, Kothrud, PimpleSaudagar etc... Our volunteers personally went to the
residence of the known as well as the unknown people of the city. Puneites embraced
this noble initiative and welcomed our volunteers with open hearts. The
response from the people was extraordinary; in just two day the Crusaders team
collected over 1300 kilos of paper and more than 5 kilos of plastic and glass
bottles.
Volunteers are seldom paid; not because they are worthless, but because they
are PRICELESS..!! Kudos to our volunteers for their magnanimous efforts.
As I mentioned above this is only a small
stepping stone in our endeavour, the crusader team is planning for another
paper collection drive in Pune. We would urge you to spread out the word across
the city and also join us in the campaign.
The details of the next paper
collection drive will be updated shortly, please follow us on blog or face
book profile for latest updates and initiatives.
Please join us in this initiative and be
a reason for someone’s smile.
As it’s rightly said-
‘Nobody can do
everything, but everyone can do something.’
