School students install contactless donation boxes in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: Ridah and Sankeerthana, students of Grade 11 and 12 from Oakridge International School, Bachupally, installed contactless donation boxes at Hill County Society in the presence of community members and students.
The Box of Happiness is essentially a donation box, where helping hands can make contributions like dry groceries (flour, rice, lentils), stationery articles, books, clothes, toys, electronics and other non-perishable commodities. Authorities concerned will collect the donation from the box and send it to the NGOs and people in need.
Within a few days of setting up these boxes, several community members came forward donating various items ranging from clothes to groceries.
“We intend to take this initiative to several other communities. Imagine if every community has these boxes of happiness, then no one will ever be left hungry, cold or unhappy.” says Sankeerthana. Adds Ridah, “We aspire to create a society where no one is left empty-handed or has to suffer. With this aspiration in our minds, we came up with initiative of Box of Happiness.”
