Rotary Coimbatore Central
A whole week to experience the joy of
giving
Rotary
Coimbatore Central will organise ‘Aram Seyya Virumbu’, here on October 5 and 6
to mark the ‘Joy of Giving Week 2013’.
The annual festival of giving is observed from October 2 to 8
throughout India and this year will witness 900 events spread across 70 towns
and cities. The Club is hosting the week in Coimbatore.
‘Aram Seyya Virumbu’ will
be held at Sarojini Nataraj Auditorium and will consist of stalls put up by
social service organisations.
Those involved in activities involving women’s welfare,
environment, sanitation, healthcare, education, rural development, child
welfare, physically and mentally challenged children, senior citizen welfare,
etc., will participate.
Public who visit the stalls, can contribute in cash or kind or enroll
to work as volunteers for any of the organisations.
“The whole week is
dedicated to the spirit of giving. The event is specially organised to provide
a platform for service organisations and donors to come face-to-face.
The organisation representatives will get a chance to talk to
the visitors about their work and those interested can decide either to donate
at the venue or later during special occasions. There will be opportunities for
the visitors to sponsor a surgery, a child’s education, enroll as blood donors,
or as a volunteer in any organisation. For those who would not be able to visit
the event in person, there would be an option of contributing by buying
fund-raising coupons worth Rs. 100 each that the organisers were selling
through their representatives and college students.
A booklet, complete with details about the organisations, would
be distributed to visitors to enable them contact the former at any convenient
date.
The Club is also looking at collaborating with corporates,
police, Armed Forces, colleges and schools, to make the event reach many
people.
Cultural programmes by differently abled children, music
programmes by college bands, debates, will be held in the evenings on both the
days.
