On Dec 13th 2013 a RB-BTS Dream event was organized on MGR Salai in Perungudi Chennai.
The volunteers were Arvind, Shravan, Nakshatra, Kanchana, Gunavathy, Jayalakshmi and Deepa.
Auto drivers Rajendran and Anbazhagan helped in carrying the water bottles.
Arvind and me(Deepa) completed 13 years of marriage and wanted to reach out to our locality with our Founders Name and message in action. Soulbath Peace Foundation helped us organize this amazing event where 1000 water bottles of 300ml each from GoodLife Industries Pvt Ltd Company were distributed to people on MGR Salai, Perungudi, Chennai. SPF gave us a lovely idea of giving 2 bottles instead of one which was the original plan. The foundation also funded for 500 bottles . One bottle was for the person and the other bottle was a paid forward gift.
On 12th Dec, 42 packages of 24 bottles each arrived at our home. Stickers were designed which said “Raj Bhowmik Wellness Project” in Tamil. The stickers were cut and stuck on all the 1000 bottles. All of us in the family Arvind my husband, Nakshatra and Shravan my children, my mother Gunavathy, my mother- in law Kanchana and my housekeeper Jayalakshmi helped in cutting and sticking the stickers. Every one helped stack the bottles neatly.
On 13th morning all the 1000 bottles were put into bags, sacks and buckets.
At 3.30 we loaded the autos and our car with the 1000 bottles. The gardeners in our apartment, Rajendran and Anbazhagan (auto drivers) helped in loading the bags. Nakshatra, Shravan, Arvind, Jayalakshmi were given bags filled with water bottles. They gave each person 2 bottles and told them that one bottle is for them and the other bottle they need to give someone else who needs it. Gunavathy and Kanchana were in the 2 autos helping in refilling the bags and distributing. It was so beautiful to see everyone so involved in the process and so ready to help.
The people reached were shopkeepers, auto drivers, security guards of RMZ Millenium 1 and 2, people from the corporate offices having their evening snack, van drivers, taxi drivers, pedestrians. Everyone was very happy to receive water. Lot of them wanted to know about our foundation and said that it was doing a good job. People appreciated and were grateful for the water. Auto drivers were really receptive and accepted the water graciously. It was so joyful to see happy faces, surprised expressions on people faces.
My daughter Nakshatra (7years) was shy to talk to strangers but took part in distributing with a little help. Shravan had a bad throat and could not speak loudly but he carried those bottles and walked with us. Arvind my husband was so happy to distribute the water. Kanchana was alone in one auto and she with the help of Anbazhagan completely distributed all the bottles. Anbazhagan the auto driver took her near the Taramani railway station and they distributed it to lot of auto drivers, taxi drivers. She was happy that people came forward and accepted the water. Gunavathy helped refill the bags for us and also got down time and again to distribute to people. Jayalakshmi was so happy and really enjoyed the whole process. She was so energetic, and kept coming back to fill her bags and reached many people. She kept smiling and was so happy to hear people thank her. By 5.00 pm, we finished distributing all the bottles. Once we reached home everyone was so happy and shared their experience. We sat together in a circle. Arvind and I shared about the work in Soulbath Peace Foundation, the 4 CORPORitual Values Of Living were explained to all. All of us sat together and wrote down how we felt during the event, how would it be if all of us do another event and also thanked Sri Raj Bhowmik for His guidance and creating this huge platform where we could reach out to 500 people. The people were from all kinds of economic strata.
Personally I am very thankful to Sri Raj Bhowmik and Soulbath Peace Foundation for giving me such a lovely gift. You have helped me and guided me to give back in such a wonderful way. To know that 500 people have been given the message to share the bottles of water was so rewarding.
I feel so hopeful to be a part of Soulbath Peace Foundation.
Thank you so much.
