About Amity Gurgaon Series – A Scrap Collection Campaign Aimed For Upliftment

Amity
University has always believed in Indian traditions, rich cultural values and
strong ethics
 which
it has been preaching and persistently imbibing the same into its students. In
our constant Endeavour to pursue the same value system at Amity University
Haryana (AUH), Office of International Affairs has been consistently attempting
to groom international students to be better moral human beings and sensitive
towards society.

Treading
this path and to create sensitivity and awareness among the international
students for the upliftment of the under privileged kids and elderly, Office
International Affairs conducted a SCRAP
COLLECTION campaign.

The
Event was a three days affair,
which was completely organized
and managed by international students starting from creating awareness,
sensitizing students, faculty and staff about the cause, collection and
finally dispatching the material to the needy. The campaign welcomed donations
only in the form of reusable discarded items which have lost value for the
owner but can give a new life to the recipient. Campaign did not encouraged any
monetary donations or any new articles, but only used items such as clothes,
toys, shoes, bed-sheets, etc.

In
order to maximize its reach, the Campaign was strategically launched by the
international students in the evening of 6th Feb 2015 with a Road Show in the
compound area. Students sang passionately slogans of ‘We-Care -We-Care’ inviting attention from one and all in
the vicinity. Student handmade colorful posters with enlighten messages aimed
at propelling altruism among all. Students visited each bus/ various vehicles
personally, making people aware about the campaign and encouraging generous
donations. This created a great buzz around the university and everyone appreciated
international students for this initiative.

Students
depicted an epitome of dedication by practicing “SHRAM DAN” in the form of assembling and labeling
cartons that were placed all around the university. Packaging and logistics of
all the collectibles was also managed by the students.

They
visited the top management, all the faculty members and staff, for their
benevolent donations and support. Students voluntarily carried cartons to all
the academic blocks, hostel blocks, classes and public areas and successfully
collected material in large numbers.

The
enthusiasm of students was quite evident by the fact that they uninterruptedly
brought in donations, filled the cartons, packed and sealed it at every hour of
the day. They also put affectionate messages on the cartons that were finally
dispatched to the NGO.

The
NGO officials were so touched by the efforts of the international students that
they offered each one of them with a certificate and presented Office of
International Affairs – Amity University with a citation, appreciating and
thanking for their Nobel initiative and efforts.

The event was a huge success and students were
finally able to dispatch 33 cartons filled with items that could provide the
underprivileged new hope and happiness
