As responsible citizens of the country, we are organizing a donation camp at the school premises in association with a NGO called Goonj. This NGO has its HO at Sarita Vihar, Delhi.

Three Important points from Srinagar. - Please do not purchase expensive soaps, shampoos etc. - Do not send perishable items, expired material, cooked food, chiwra/murmurey etc. as from transportation, management and distribution, these items are creating problem. - Do not give small bottles of water or 5/- namkeen packs as they are being distributed in far off places and these items are not only insufficient for families but are also creating a big environment havoc.
