Hyderabad: A group of Richmond Villas Society women pooled their resources to buy Ganesh Laddu for Rs 1.26 crore to fund a charity.
Organized by RV Diya Charitable Trust, this annual fundraiser only reflects the generosity of the residents but also underscores the power of unity and goodwill within the community.
RV Diya Charitable Trust is a unique residential community-led charity group with a remarkable history of supporting leading NGOs in their day-to-day operations.
What sets this trust apart is its diverse group of volunteers, which includes senior super-specialty doctors, serial entrepreneurs, professionals, businessmen, agriculturalists, social activists, and senior citizens hailing from different corners of the country. Over the years, the trust has also welcomed individual donors from outside the community to participate in their fundraising endeavors.
Dr. Archana Sinha and Poornima Deshpande, as the Managing Trustees of the group, have been instrumental in driving the trust's mission to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Their dedication has resonated with the residents of Richmond Villas and beyond.
Speaking about the annual Ganesh Laddu auction, Dr. Archana Sinha shared, "It's incredible to see how our community comes together each year to support this noble cause. This tradition not only symbolizes our devotion to charity but also our commitment to making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate."
Poornima Deshpande added, "The RV Diya Charitable Trust has grown over the years, thanks to the enthusiastic participation of our neighbors and donors. This year's record-breaking bid for the Ganesh Laddu is a testament to the generosity and compassion that define our community."
One of the residents, Mrs. Mehta, shared her thoughts on the event, saying, "The Ganesh Laddu auction has become a cherished tradition in our community. It's heartening to witness the spirit of giving that unites us all. This year's bid, in particular, shows that when we come together, we can achieve remarkable things."
Another resident, Kapoor, added, "I've been a part of this community for many years, and each year, I'm amazed at the increasing support for our charity initiatives. It makes me proud to be a part of Richmond Villas."
Richmond Villas Society in Suncity has once again exemplified the power of community-driven charity.
Ganesh Laddu auction's success serves as a reminder that in times of need, unity, and compassion can create a significant impact, transcending boundaries and making the world a better place. As the RV Diya Charitable Trust continues its admirable work, it's evident that its efforts will continue to inspire and uplift many lives.
