comes forward
to support the
underprivileged
Mumbai :
Mumbai saw a charity art auction and fund raiser to support medical camps and
cataract surgeries. The art auction was hosted by a Nikhar Tandon Foundation
“Samvedna”.
Paintings at the event included works by Nikhar Tandon, a Grade 10
student of the reputed Ecole Mondiale World School. To support the cause was Chief
Guest Rahul Narvekar, MLC of NCP along with Shaina NC, the spokesperson for
BJP.
The Foundation had organized an
Art auction in order to realize its objectives in making a positive difference
to the community.
Samvedna was started by Nikhar
Tandon at the age of 13 and today it stand with an accomplished 2 year working.
The word Samvedna encapsulates the essence of compassion- it doesn’t stem so
much from sympathy, as it does from fellow feeling and empathy.
It doesn’t aim
to say, ‘I feel for you’, rather to reach out and assure that, ‘I feel the same
as you do.’ The motto of Samvednais thus ‘Our Passion is Compassion’ and is a
manifestation of our compassion in action.
The organization strives not to lend
a hand, but to work hand-in-hand with the underprivileged. Free medical camps,
donation drives, provision of supplies, building basic infrastructure and
creating awareness about key issues like health and hygiene are part of the
agenda.
On this eventful day Nikhar shared
her thoughts, “I’m overwhelmed by the support
received from everyone. The objective of having immaculate white as the theme
was symbolic of the blank canvases of our hidden potential and the purity they
possess.
I strongly believe that we young minds can change the scenario of the underprivileged
and am looking forward to planning many such magnanimous ventures.”
The part of the proceeds will go towards the Chief Minister
Relief fund and part of it towards funding of medical camps and cataract
surgeries along with provision of financed medical aid.
To show their support actressesKarismaKapoor,
Parineeti Chopra,Lisa Haydon, HumaQureshi, AditiRaoHydari, Gauhar Khan,
Richa Chadha amongst others were present.
It was a great sight to see the celebs
getting out and standing by the 15 year old Nikhar Tandon and her initiative.
