Act of Kindness..
Saturday
is a fun day, indeed. And the choice is totally up to an individual
how he/she likes to spend
it. Some likes to spend time with families / go on a short trip / reading a book / hangout with friends / watching movie… et al.
There
are people who follow an unconventional path for their weekend by
indulging in social activities which are beneficial for the society /
uplifting people’s life in some or the other way….. probably,
this is what makes them happy – a thought of giving back to
society.
Vinay
Patil definitely falls in this rare category. A full
time professional turned into an entrepreneur. A
sense of responsibility towards society led him to form “Janaseva
Pratishthan” in year 2000. The group was initially focusing
only on sport related activities.
We
learn from experiences & people around us. He also
wasn’t an exception for it. Somebody left a big
impact in his life which made him begin to help
underprivileged children since year 2010.
A
short summary can help us know him better:
- He founded Janaseva Pratishthan in year 2000.
- To serve people – is the motive of Janaseva Pratishthan
- Year 2010, he begun helping underprivileged children.
- Soon like minded friends, Raj Kambli & Prakash Gandhi joined him in this noble cause.
- Key achievements accomplished as of now :
- Successfully reached in more than 12+ villages
- Provided educational help to 4500+ children
- Blood donation for patients who during medical emergencies
- Successful execution of FREE Darshan tours for senior citizens to spiritual place & pilgrimage site at Shirdi
Last
weekend they visited couple of ‘Aadivasi pade’ &
ZP – Zilha Parishad Primary Schools at Koparyachi
Wadi & Dhaman
Wadi at Neral village, Karjat
Taluka, Raigad – district, Maharashtra. Which covered,
an educational kit distribution to 100+ children in
the form of useful stationary in a school kit to
students. A kit contained:
- A school bag
- Notebooks
- Pen, Pencils & a small compass box
- And some goodies in the form of biscuits & chocolates
Can
easily spot the excitement and happiness on children’s face while
accepting the kits & goodies. Their smiles conveys
acceptance & appreciation of spreading joy & happiness.
Vinay's
message for all : Every generation needs caretakers. And for your
generation, its YOU.
His
contribution is consistent for past 9+ years now…

me, it's an act of Kindness. Agree?
