Aahan Ka Asar…

Ahan

Often it is observed that people have a willingness to do something great in their lives….but seldom has anyone seen someone convert this will into HARDCORE action. And when that does happen, one is left with nothing but a feeling of Aww in the heart and a tear in the eye!

A couple of weeks back, I talked about an organization that was at the verge of making BIG news(Catch it here)…and I, more than anyone else, was waiting to see how they would plan to begin changing lives of the people who really need it. Aahan (earlier named as Food for the Soul) is an organization that has one simple mission: to feed the hungry – and bring smiles to their faces. Signifying ‘The first light of the day’, Aahan will work to bring Dawn in the lives of the many people who cannot afford it.

Their first event took place in a small orphanage in Ludhiana, Punjab, on the festival of colors, Holi. They started out with a painting competition to signify the importance of the colors in life, and showcasing to young children how colors can add beauty and happiness to it. Later, snacks and drinks were distributed, and holi was celebrated in full flavour. The day not only gave the children of the orphanage amazing memories, it also left the volunteers with a feeling of pride in the heart, and motivation to do more in the mind.

It is at times like these that one is inspired and aspires to do great things himself. If you are one of them, then you can play a part too. All you need to do is to create a facebook account (if you don’t have one already), and go to this link: Aahan (Food For The Souls). Once there, all you need to do is to hit the “Join” button, and you’re part is done. It is that Simple.

And ya, every word counts, and every hand helps. So, if you think you are a very social person with countless friends, please help to spread the word. I have always believed that good work must be appreciated, and this is indeed GOOD work. Let’s give them a chance to change lives – let’s give them a hand of our support.

Kaash ho Aahan ki jeet! :)
