The Full Story
In September 2022, marking World Literacy Day, Inara partnered with the Bakul Foundation for their bi-yearly Daan Utsav festival of giving. Operating under the powerful motto "Gift a child her first book," the campaign successfully crowdfunded and distributed foundational storybooks to children living in under-resourced slums and villages, providing many with their first-ever personal book.
Alongside the distribution drive, Inara's volunteers actively participated in Bakul's Day of Service. Moving beyond simple charity, the volunteers spent high-quality, meaningful time interacting directly with the children. They organized dynamic games, collaborated on creative arts and crafts projects, and hosted engaging storytelling sessions, leaving a lasting impact of smiles and shared memories for both the volunteers and the community.
