What's so great about helping someone carry heavy bags? Well, sometimes it could be life-changing for that one person! Look around wherever you are...at the bus-stop, at the train station, in the supermarket, at the airport, at the crossroads, you are sure to see people struggling with heavy bags. Help them pick a bag and see the smile you bring to their face!

Help a person cross the street.

While navigating through busy Indian streets, jostling for space to walk or struggling to steer your vehicle, did you ever stop to help someone to cross the street? Spare a minute to help a fragile elderly person feeling nervous, stop to help a stray animal looking lost, a physically challenged person trying to find the right moment to cross.Watch this popular video that beautifully captures people in Russia going out of their way to express their compassion.#EveryTuesday#GivingTuesdayIndiaMy Giving for #MyBetterBharat

Did you know that half the children in India between 6 and 14 years do not go to school? It's not because they don't want to. They may not have a school nearby, there may be no school that will take them in because of a learning or other disability, they cannot leave the job they are doing to feed their siblings, there is a school but no teachers, they are in a troubled area where schools are closed or it's risky to go to school... Today is the international day of education to call attention to making every child's dream of education a reality! . Help at least one child get education! Support Abhyudaya - Reaching the Socially Deprived, a project of KKSS https://www.givingtuesdayindia.org/story-details/304 @abhyudaya_kkss . #InternationalDayofEducation #GivingTuesdayIndia My Giving for #MyBetterBharat
We are so used to communicating through text messages... yes, there are several benefits in doing so. It gives the recipient the time to revert, it gives you the comfort that you are not disturbing the recipient, it is more actionable as the recipient can forward, open a link, respond to you, and it also gives the recipient the option to ignore. However, text messages lack the warmth and excitement of the spoken word and deprive the opportunity to have a conversation. A call gives you the chance to gauge the state of mind of the person you are calling and allows you to express empathy or elation. The next time you reach out to text someone, pause and pick up the phone! Call someone today and have a conversation. Make someone feel better and experience the joy in doing so! #EveryTuesday #givingtuesdayindia My Giving for #MyBetterBharat
Harvest festivals are about thanking nature for the bounty it offers in the form of crops. It's about welcoming the change of season, enjoying the sunshine with colourful rangoli, kolams, kites and costumes, with song and dance to rhythmic beats. It's all about celebrating with the community. So, whether you are celebrating Pongal, Bihu, Lohri, Makara Sankranti, Poush Sankranti, Uttarayan or a harvest festival by another name...do share nature's bounty with people around you! Share food with the hungry all of this week. Carry an extra lunch box daily for the next seven days and offer to the first hungry person you see! #EveryTuesday #GivingTuesdayIndia My Giving for #MyBetterBharat #MakaraSankranthi
Today on the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, his words remind us of the power of youth: “Youth is the best time.

We salute organisations that are working hard to empower youth with the skills they need to determine their future. . #GivingTuesdayIndia My Giving for #MyBetterBharat . #Nationalyouthday #2020 #india
