BACHPAN AFTER PACHPAN- CHILDHOOD AFTER 55

Elders are very important people in our societies, but somehow the people especially the younger generations keep neglecting them. The young people of today forget that age is just a number and soon they will be in the chairs of the elderly. It is important that you don't just leave your elders at one corner of the house to play with their grandchildren. After all they are just like you and they also need a social life.

The younger generation has to value their relations with the elders and create enough time to always interact with the them. The elders deserve all due respect and honor from everyone in the house and the society. We keep on forgetting the fact that elders are the wisest and the most experienced of us all. It is only their age that they need you the most – be it to speak up for their rights, to support them socially and financially or to just give them a bit of your time and love. 

To take this issue head-on a group of 3rd-year Mass-Media Students of Wilson College in association with Silver Inning Foundation, Hermony and other NGO's started a social initiative called "Bachpan after Pachpan", which in English means "Childhood after Fity Five". This unique campaign aims at sensitizing the community, especially the youth about the issues faced by the Elderly today. The campaign focuses on Inter-generational Bonding because they believe that most of the problems faced by the Elderly can be changed a great deal if the youth stand up for them.

  

‘Bachpan after Pachpan’ seeks to make the lives of Senior citizens pleasant at the twilight of their lives. It encourages and inspires the society to take initiative to take care of the elderly. ‘Bachpan after Pachpan’ believes that you can do anything for the elders, even the smallest of the things can make a difference for example, just listening to what they have to say, just helping them cross the road, buy a train or a bus ticket, or simply just make them laugh their heart out loudly.

As part of the campaign, one of the events that  ‘Bachpan after Pachpan’ organized is Flash Mob – which took place on 4^th of Jan 2012, at High Street Phoenix, Mumbai, India at around 5.00pm in the evening. The event saw 47 Senior Citizens of an NGO Harmony initiate and perform a Flash Mob. Needless to say, it was a huge success. Watch-out this amazing video of that wonderful flash-mob :

SOMETHING REALLY CLOSE TO MY HEART

Hello people, we are in the middle of the weekend over here in India, and I'm going through mixed feelings about something really close to my heart. For the last couple of weeks I was working on my "Social Responsibility" project and finally, today in the morning I changed the website for the same to a completely new look. I think it has turned out the way I wanted, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed to hear your comments about the same. I invite you visit my new website here - www.iBlog4aCause.com.

Along with the website makeover, I've also added a lot of new features to it.One of the feature that will be of interest to a lot of you who really want to make a difference by using the power of your words is- "iBLOG4ACAUSE" partners with various small and big firms who want to market their products over the internet using the power of blog marketing. iBlog4aCause will charge these partner companies on a per post basis or for a fixed amount as per the negotiated deal with the partner company. Whatever may be the deal, iBlog4aCause will publish the details for the same in the invitational post to the bloggers. The money raised from the partner companies will then be used for a social cause, and all its details and proofs will be published on iBlog4aCause.com in the subsequent future posts.
 
iBlog4aCause will publish a post on its website with the complete details as per the requirements and the guidelines of the partner company, inviting bloggers to write a blog-spot about the same on their own blogs. Each blogger interested to do a blog-post for the partner company will have to first comment against the invitational post published on iBlog4aCause.com expressing its willingness for the same, and later on posting a new comment with the link to your original blog-post for the partner company. I feel never before it was so easy to be part of something that makes a real difference to the society, and iBlog4aCause provides you with this simple and holistic approach to raise money for the social causes that we all support.

Even though, I mentioned the opportunities for blogger to contribute towards the various social cause, but let me clarify that it is NOT just for blogger. There are several other things for the people who are interested in being a part of social campaign but not interested in blogging. I would request you to visit the website for more details. May be, I will publish another post over here to explain opportunities for non-bloggers soon.
I wish more and more people will join iBlog4aCause and try to make a difference. I've a big vision for this non-profit social responsibility project of mine, and I know we have made right moves in the right direction, but the more new people I can add to my network the more easy it will be to serve the purpose. I hope a lot of you will start following iBlog4aCause soon and playing your part in the social causes that we are working for.
