Toy Distribution at Jharkhali, Sundarbans

While growing up, most of us had a favorite toy that we would hold on to, no matter where we went, didn't we? But for many children in rural India, toys still remain a luxury that cannot be had. Toys are only one out of the several other things that these kids are deprived of. Poverty and misery are social truths, but can we really afford to have children around us growing up unhappy? Keeping this in mind we decided to bring fun and play into the lives of underprivileged children of the Sundarbans by distributing toys.
