The month of December is so joyful as it is the last month of the year and a time for giving. Keeping that in mind, 'Joy of Giving’ was conducted by Bhumi foundation along with ASPIRE in collaboration with Nirmaan to give 70 travel bags to the students of KGBV – Osman Nagar. Volunteers from ASPIRE spent some quality time with the students and helped in the distribution of the bag.

The Bhumi Foundation and Nirmaan have stepped up to support Government School students to continue their education. The support was extended to the whole community as well as to the families. The students are below the poverty line, they are orphans and single-parent students. They come to the school by walking five kilometers from where they live. These bicycles are useful to them since even though they study well, they are always late due to the distance. The students were delighted to receive these bicycles because they felt happier.

Teaching comes from home. In India, people don’t talk about menstrual hygiene. The lack of facilities affects a girl’s life. She is made to feel bad about herself during those days. Currently, in India, 64.4 percent of women aged 15-24 use sanitary napkins, 49.6 percent use cloth and 15 percent use locally prepared napkins. Health and hygiene should be the priority. However, most people neglect this. Creating awareness about menstrual hygiene is crucial in today’s time as there is so much availability of information. Teaching the students of KGBV School how to use a pad, how to dispose of it after usage, and how to maintain personal hygiene during that phase is taught. We, along with the Bhumi foundation came forward to create awareness about the same in the KGBV School, where we taught the students about menstrual hygiene. To promote this awareness we distributed 180 sanitary pads to the students.
