JGW newsletter - BITS Goa 2013

celebrates JOY OF GIVING WEEK 2013 at BITS Pilani K. K. Birla Goa Campus In association with “What we spend, we lose. What we keep will be left for others. What we give away will be ours forever.” David McGee The Joy of Giving Week is our nation’s festival of giving! With growing participation every year, this week has sparked an emotion in many and brought smiles on the faces of millions. It is a festival where people from different walks of life come together to give back to their society and share happiness with people. It is also an opportunity for people to realize the importance of taking such initiatives and connect with the community more effectively. This year, the week was celebrated in BITS, Pilani - K.K. Birla Goa Campus facilitated by Nirmaan Organization’s Goa chapter with over 9 events, including the Old age home and Orphanage visits, Meal of Joy and Cloth Collection drives in and around the campus, each of which celebrated the noble spirit of giving. The smiles of the inmates of the old age home and the children of the orphanage that we visited, give us a reason to smile everyday. The mesmerizing experiences that we had in celebrating the week will surely be cherished by each and every one of us. We have tried to share our experiences by describing all the events held in the week in this newsletter. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed celebrating it. Nikhil Bhagat
