B4U Network Employee’s pack & share 30000meals with under privileged children
MUMBAI: On the occasion of completing over 18 years,B4U Network pledged 30,000 meals throughits partner NGO Rise Against Hunger India (RAHI)where they joined forces in the fight against hunger on 14th December, 2018. Over 150 employees of B4U gathered together to pack 30,000 nutritious meals in 5000 meal packets for the impoverished & undernourished children.
B4U’s flagship music channel B4U Music pegged the theme for this year’s event “Music is food for the soul”hence the thought of nourishing 30000 underprivileged children by pledging nutritious meals as the networks Corporate Social Responsibility initiative. These food packs would be further distributed to 3 NGO’s; AIDS Combat International, Rotary Club Worlifor a school they have adopted in Karjat,Friendship Centre India – Home for Orphan and single parent children.
The CSR activity resulted in a team bonding atmosphere and camaraderie among the team. Here the entire set-up resembled Henry Ford’s Assembly line functioning where the participants were divided into 10 teams which had a similar set-up of Dal, Rice, Dry vegetables and vitamin sachet in a single pack. Besides the 10 teams which were into packing the khichadi meals there were teams which delivered food to the tables as re-fills, a team which took the packed boxes to the truck and the team which helped in giving instructions.
Along with a sense of fulfilment & gratitude for a social cause the employees also felt a sense of ownership, co-operation and camaraderie with their fellow colleagues. The event further extended into a rewards and recognition felicitation followed by a DJ party where the team let their hair down.
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
