Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 12: The International Youth Development Fund (IYDF), in collaboration with Gorakhpur Bakery, organised a heartwarming charity event at the Regional Centre for Disabled Children (Samekit Chetriy Kendr Divyangjan) in Gorakhnath. The event provided essential supplies and care to 148 disabled children, with the aim of improving their quality of life and fostering an interest in learning.
Volunteer Efforts and Donations
This event was made possible through the tireless efforts of 15 dedicated volunteers, including Sonu Dubey, Mahindra Dubey, Sanjay Dubey, Hariom Dwivedi, Haridwar Dubey, Dheeraj Dubey, Gulab Dubey, Shiv Das Yadav, Gultu Yadav, Prabhakar Dubey, Bhane Yadav, Pappu Dubey, Amit Dubey, Akash Pandey, and Vikas Pandey. Together with IYDF, they generously provided much-needed resources to the children.
The donations included essential food items such as rice, wheat, cooking oil, biscuits, namkeen, cornflakes, Maggi noodles, chips, dried fruits, sweets, and cupcakes, ensuring the children had both nutritious and enjoyable meals. In addition to food, educational materials like books, notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, and school bags were distributed, helping the children with their studies and providing them with the tools they needed to thrive in their learning environment.
Activities and Engagement with the Children
Beyond the donations, the volunteers also organised several activities to make the day enjoyable and memorable for the children. A friendly Ludo competition, alongside a drawing contest, captured the children’s imagination and creativity. These activities not only encouraged the children to think and express themselves but also allowed them to engage with the volunteers in a fun and interactive way.

Seeing their smiles filled my heart with joy.” Many of the volunteers expressed their gratitude for being part of such a meaningful event, and they expressed interest in continuing to collaborate with IYDF in future charitable initiatives.
