1. We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we
give ~ Winston Churchill
2. 88% of youth want to contribute to society and help the
underprivileged. 96% say they do not know how. JOYFEST is a
platform where the youth of India can come together and make a
difference. It is part of a national movement called the Joy of
Giving Week. JAM Magazine is helping to spread the awareness and
motivating students to hold a 1 day Joyfest in their campus.
3. THIS YEAR WE ARE CELEBRATING IT ON OCTOBER 6, 2013 SVNIT has
been involved in celebrating JOYFEST under the nationwide JOY OF
GIVING WEEK since last 4 years. During the event, we invite under
privileged children, children from blind schools, elders from old
age homes and orphans to the campus and spend a day full of fun
filled activities and try to make it a memorable day for them
4. Besides celebrating one single day with the children, this
year onwards we aim to help the institutions supporting these
children by fulfilling their needs monetarily and otherwise. In
order to raise funds for the aforementioned activities, we carry
out the following: Paper Drive inside and outside college T-shirt
and Mugs Selling Donations
5. WHY I SHOULD PARTICIPATE?
6. This is what our parents taught us when we were kids. We
were taught to share our lunch and stationery at school with
friends, toys with friends in the colony and our belongings with
siblings at home. This basic etiquette was inculcated in us by our
elders because they realized the importance of giving in our life.
As we grew up this feeling got buried with loads and loads of work.
Its never too late to wake up and make the best use of this week to
show how much you care for others. The greater is the response the
bigger will be the event. Do not let off this opportunity.
