*The translation of the meaning is from Tamil to English.

Theme of the activity

Our Giving Their Future - Indian culture is rich and diverse and as a result unique in its very own way. Our manners, way of communicating with one another, etc are one of the important components of our culture. Even though we have accepted modern means of living, improved our lifestyle, our values and beliefs still remain unchanged. A person can change his way of clothing, way of eating and living but the rich values in a person always remains unchanged because they are deeply rooted within our hearts, mind, body and soul which we receive from our culture and belief.

Concept

 As in for charity would like to donate a part of the donation money to 4 selected orphanage homes for their expenses and the children education. The orphanage homes will be selected through survey.

Charity-Charitable giving is the act of giving money, goods or time to the unfortunate, either directly or by means of a charitable trust or other worthy cause. Charitable giving as a religious act or duty is referred to as almsgiving or alms. The name stems from the most obvious expression of the virtue of charity is giving the objects of it the means they need to survive.

The poor, particularly widows and orphans, and the sick and disabled, are generally regarded as the proper objects of charity. Some groups regard charity as being properly directed toward other members of their group. Although giving to those nearly connected to oneself is sometimes called charity—as in the saying "Charity begins at home" -- normally charity denotes giving to those not related, with filial piety and like terms for supporting one's family and friends. Indeed, treating those related to the giver as if they were strangers in need of charity has led to the figure of speech "as cold as charity" -- providing for one's relatives as if they were strangers, without affection.

Objectives

• To promote UTAR 10^th Anniversary celebration.
• To introduce the Indian culture to the students.
• To enhance the relationship and strengthen the teamwork ability with UTAR ICLS and public.
• Raise fund for selected unfortunate and unprivileged children.
