abhaya Foundation

Ever since the onset of winter Abhayans have been busy distributing free blankets to destitute and abandoned people on the roads. They have rummaged their neighborhood in search of needy people in the dead of night and provided them much needed relief by way of these blankets. Most of them were women, children and barely mobile senior citizens. It is a noble deed beyond doubt to most citizens. However like every good deed some people view even this with certain amount of suspicion or contempt. Through this blog I want to address this particular section of our audience.

This is for our good as every single learning will further be refining our approach towards Service. When we go to college students only one or two shows passion to join hands for the community work… rest all do not have any idea about community work. In the process we learnt that students are busy with their studies, in achieving goals. Many of the students say that they can only think of service after getting settled in life!
