Charity corner comes up in Kangan to help out needy

Kangan, Dec 5: Amid the approaching winter season a place of charity corner for the needy people has come up in Kangan area of Ganderbal district. The place of charity will have clothes donated by the people for the needy people who want to take them.

The much needed initiative has been started by an NGO “Awaaz Aur Ehsaas Foundation” Ganderbal for the needy people in the area. The charity corner invites the passers-by with a slogan: “Leave what you do not need” and “Take it if you need”.

At the place people can leave their surplus clothes and other items for the needy people who can collect whatever they need from the items placed there.

Raja Parvaiz Ahmed who runs the charity NGO told Greater Kashmir that they have been coming up with such charity places and organising camps for needy people for the last four years.

“It is a small effort to bridge the gap between the various sections of people,” he said, adding that “We received an overwhelming response from the people who donated items including woollen clothes, food, and blankets.”

On the occasion, many locals appreciated the initiative and termed it a welcome step for the village. “It is a welcome initiative and civil society will extend every possible step for this purpose,” said a local activist. “This initiative is mainly meant for the downtrodden section of the people,” he said.
