Nashik (Maharashtra) [India], October 7: On a crisp autumn day, the International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF), in partnership with United Cakes of Nashik, held a heartwarming charity event to provide support to underprivileged children and the elderly. The event took place at Shri Saint Tukaram Maharaj Student Gurukul and Vruddha Seva Sadan, bringing much-needed supplies and warmth to vulnerable members of the community. In addition to providing essential living and educational items, the event aimed to inspire hope and offer emotional support to those in need.
Demonstrating Social Responsibility with Generosity
The success of the event was due in large part to the dedicated efforts of IYDF's organiser, Mr. Tanmay Rajendra Wamane, and the generous sponsorship from United Cakes of Nashik. As a well-known local business, United Cakes of Nashik has always been committed to giving back to the community and actively participating in charitable initiatives. They donated a large number of essential items, including 70 kilograms of wheat, 65 kilograms of rice, 150 packets of cooking oil, 50 notebooks, 20 boxes of pens, 250 stationery sets, 100 food cakes, 100 packets of chips, and 80 water bottles. These supplies not only helped meet the immediate needs of the children and elderly but also reflected the company's dedication to supporting vulnerable groups in society.
The event was held at two locations: Shri Saint Tukaram Maharaj Student Gurukul and Vruddha Seva Sadan. These institutions serve as safe spaces for children and the elderly, providing them with shelter and support. The event was warmly welcomed by Tukaram Maharaj, who expressed gratitude to the organisers and looked forward to more such assistance in the future.
Volunteers Working Together to Spread Kindness
The event was supported by a team of enthusiastic volunteers led by Tanmay Rajendra Wamane. The volunteer team consisted of Omkar Pravin Gotise, Krushana Patil, Tejas Sonar, Rohit Sangle, Mayur Satape, Pushpak Shejwal, Samadhan Sangle, Gulashan Singh, Sarthak Pagare, Gholap Sir, Rohit Tejsale, Abhijeet More, Sunil Gawali, Gauri Gamehe, Rajendra Wamane, and Anuj Wamane. Their tireless efforts ensured that every aspect of the event was executed flawlessly.
At the event, volunteers spent time interacting with the children, sharing laughter and creating joyous moments. Their dedication brought warmth and happiness to the recipients, filling the atmosphere with compassion and care.

A Day of Fun and Laughter
The event began at 1 p.m., with a variety of activities designed to bring smiles to the children's faces. The volunteers organised entertainment such as singing, dancing, and a lively game of musical chairs. Initially a bit shy, the children soon warmed up as music filled the air, and the atmosphere became animated with excitement. The children participated wholeheartedly, and their laughter and enthusiasm were contagious.
Reflecting on the event, Mr. Tanmay Rajendra Wamane remarked, "Seeing the children smile makes all the hard work worthwhile. Despite their challenging circumstances, their innocence and joy touched every one of us."
In addition to entertainment, volunteers distributed educational supplies and food items to the children. These contributions not only supported their daily needs but also served as motivation to continue striving for a better future. Volunteers engaged one-on-one with the children, listening to their stories, offering encouragement, and providing a comforting presence.
Volunteers' Reflections on the Power of Giving
After the event, many volunteers shared their heartfelt reflections. They noted that the experience was not only about giving but also about personal growth. One volunteer said, "Being part of this event made me realise that helping others doesn't always require grand gestures. Sometimes, just being there and listening can bring immense warmth to those in need."
Tanmay Rajendra Wamane added, "This event has shown us the optimistic spirit of these children. Despite the material hardships they face, their hearts are filled with hope and resilience. This was not just about helping them--it was also a meaningful experience for us as volunteers."
