There are less than 100 days left until the first ever National Sewa Day takes to the streets. Each day we receive more and more projects that you are organizing for Sewa Day. In fact, we now have 87 Groups from 11 cities around the UK who have committed to organizing a project for Sewa Day. With pledges of 20 to 100 volunteers per project, that’s a lot of people sacrificing their time for others on National Sewa Day.
... Are you ready?
COMMIT
First and foremost, have you committed to organizing a Sewa Project?
If you have, make sure you complete and return the Organisation Details form to me as soon as you can.
PROJECTS
Once you have decided on your project… let us know!
We need the details of the project so we can tell everyone what will be happening on National Sewa Day.
If you are unable to decide on which project to organise, get in touch and we will help to organise the project for you. Its important that you finalise the project by the end of the month.
Here is an example of some ways you can offer your Sewa on Sewa Day:
Tree Planting: We’re planting a forest in Hertfordshire. Even if you don’t have green fingers, you can still help create a legacy.
Party @ Home: Lots of volunteers want to entertain the elderly and housebound. Parties are being organised at Nursing Homes or in venues where the elderly will be transported to for the day. For some, this will be their only party this year. Can you help spread the joy?
Say You Care: Books, computers, gifts, food… lots of parcels are going to be wrapped up on National Sewa Day, destined for those who need them more. Can you bring someone, somewhere, some joy by donating items they need more?
I’ve had the fortune of visiting several organizations to discuss the concept of National Sewa Day. The instant enthusiasm from those present has been incredible. Sewa is a familiar concept to everyone. Its need is vital here, today, more than ever. Make sure you do your bit to motivate others to offer their sewa on National Sewa Day.
