We all have a lot of old stuff; old College bags, stationary sets, books, clothes, footwear etc. all accumulated over time, with which we don’t know what to do!
Little do we realize that these items which we want to just get rid of could still be invaluable to many people who are not as privileged as we are. Stuff like old clothes and book and shoes which are no more of use to us could bring cheer to lives of those who never had these to begin with!!

It is with this thought of helping those in need that GOONJ in collaboration with DHL (Deliver To Help) has started VASTRA SAMMAN the aim of which is to collect old stuff from students and give them to the needy. To contribute our bit to the cause, SIMSR’s Social Cell coordinated with the NGO GOONJ and DHL (Deliver To Help) and Joined VASTRA SAMMAN as a part of Joy Of Giving Week which was celebrated nationwide from 27th September to October 3rd 2009.
Students were asked to donate anything from old uniforms, books, clothes of all sizes, toys, footwear, lunch boxes, water bottles, geometry boxes, story books, blankets, woollens, raincoats newspapers magazines, monetary contributions etc. The enthusiastic response was ascertained from the filled donation boxes kept near the hostel entrance. All the donations collected were given to GOONJ which would go to its ‘SCHOOL to SCHOOL’ initiative.
It is through the success of these programmes small and big that we at Somaiya Social Cell feel we are Touching hearts... Challenging Destinies....
