Spreading Smiles was an initiative launched in December 2016 to spread smiles to the faces of 100 underprivileged children. The entire initiative was crowd financed using our Social Media Accounts. With each member of the public being able to contribute Rs. 100 per child, we were able to raise funds for the children within one week! The generosity was overwhelming. It helped us reach 100 children.
For the first chapter of Spreading Smiles we selected primarily 2 NGOs- St. James' Church Child Empowerment Center (an after school education center for the underprivileged children where teachers from reputed schools in the city come to teach these children) and Arunima Hospice (a center for children affected by HIV/AIDs).
Entree to Dessert believes in 2 things- Education and Food for all. We specially curated gift bags for the children keeping this in mind as well as bringing some joy right before Christmas! The hampers consisted of- Coloring Books, Crayons, Pencils, Eraser, Sharpner, 2 packets of Maggi, 2 packets of Lays, 2 5 stars, 1 cupcake, 2 soaps from our generous sponsor Doy Soaps, Christmas caps and chocolates from Entree to Dessert. Seeing the smile in the faces of each child as they received the hamper made our day!
We have some projects in mind for 2017:
1. Providing a month long grocery supply to an Oldage Home in Kolkata (Food for All Program, May 2017)
2. Providing a month long supply of staples and nutritious food to an HIV/AIDs Shelter (Food For All Program, May 2017)
3. Cooking Competition at a Child Empowerment Center (Happy Faces Program, May 2017)
4. One day excursion to Science City for Children at a Child Empowerment Center ( Happy Faces Program, June 2017)
