Daan Utsav 2014 | Notebook Collection Drive | Bengaluru

This Daan Utsav (or Joy of Giving Week) Bhumi’s Bengaluru team is organising a ‘Stationery Collection Drive’. The idea is to collect notebooks, pencils and any kind of stationery that can be given to children of our centers across Bengaluru. Ideas include
1. Placing a donation box in our apartments/colleges/workplaces (If it needs lots of approvals, make it informal).
2. Talking to any retail/food outlets in our locality and see if donation boxes can be placed.
3. If someone wishes to donate money, we accept the money and buy the stuff on their behalf.
If you are interested, please sign up
