What do we mostly do during the festival season? Get our house done up, buy new clothes, make good food and most importantly meet and greet our friends and family. The festival season is upon us but this time around the festivals are going to be a tad different. <\/span>2020 has taught us a lot and one of the lessons <\/span>its<\/span> taught us is to be resilient and giving at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Most of our student beneficiaries do not have any kind of digital device \u2013 computer, tablet or a smartphone \u2013 from where they can digitally learn. <\/span>They are in need of a device in order to study regularly from their respective homes.<\/span> Coming from <\/span>poverty stricken<\/span> backgrounds, most of them cannot afford to invest in a device themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since we will all be confined to our homes this festival season, let<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s make the most of it and light up someone else\u2019s life. <\/span>Let us pledge to donate towards digital devices which can help <\/span>students<\/span> study on a regular basis. <\/span><\/p>\n

In order to help our students and to donate for their computers, tablets and smartphones, <\/span><\/p>\n
