In our mission to empower marginalised children with skills and talent through education, 'Project Help India' this week launched a heartwarming Diwali initiative centred on spreading hope and kindness. Ahead of the Festival of Lights, our students from a number of our centres in Northern India have enthusiastically painted around 1000 earthen lamps (diyas). These vibrant creations have been packaged in sets of nine, and distributed to families living in poverty - those who otherwise are unable to celebrate Diwali, allowing them to decorate their homes and join the festive spirit.
Beyond the colourful diyas lies a deeper purpose - the joy and hope these children have experienced through Project Help India, they wish to share with others. This Diwali, simple materials, coupled with hard work and creativity are fostering love, unity and happiness across the community.
Project Help India is grateful for the opportunity to fill young hearts with a sense of being loved, valued and belonging - and it has been a joy to share this with others. We thank our teachers for their passion in making this project possible, and we thank our supporters for your generosity. Love certainly makes the world go round, and our world certainly need lots of love.
This Diwali, we pray that the glow of these painted diyas symbolise not only the festival of lights but also the hearts and intentions of the many beautiful children we are blessed to have in the Project Help India family.
May the light of Diwali fill your home with warmth, joy and happiness and may the coming year be filled with love, laughter and success.
Project Help India wishes you and your family a happy Diwali. May God’s blessing be with you.
