Joy of giving week
MILE collaborated with "Hope For the Children Foundation" - an NGO which runs more than 12 orphanages in Pune for the welfare of underprivileged & destitute children, for the joy of giving week. Students of MILE volunteered for various activities like donation drive, sports day organized for physically challenged children, dental & medical health check up camp, teaching the underprivileged children, teaching the basic health & hygiene issues to women at slums, food distribution & movie broadcasting for children. Through all these activities students drew self-satisfaction & peace of mind. They got to know that the smile on the face of a kid, who is deprived of all the comforts & luxury, is priceless. The students realized that the real joy lies in the fact "service before self".
Dental and Health Care Camp
Dental and Health check up Camp. An initiative to bring a healthy smile on every child’s face.
In this camp dental and oral health along with general body checkup for children was performed by doctors who are students of MILE, along with this knowledge was imparted about how to keep your teeth and body healthy. We saw how due to lack of awareness and finance children suffer from various ailments and how much they need to be attended to.
Sports Day for Physically Challenged Children
Outdoor sports activities organised for physically challenged children.
Physically challenged people, just like the rest of us, need the thrill, enjoyment and learning that outdoor sports provide. This initiative helped us to provide them with this thrill, enjoyment and learning that every other child enjoys in their daily life. The time spent with these children
Food Distribution Event
Free meal distribution all over the city to hungry and needy people.
Free meals were distributed to ensure that people who barely enjoy a single meal a day do not loose faith in the society.This event sent across a message to youngsters to save food and also create an attitude towards helping the hungry and needy.
Movie Screening and Lunch at MILE
Movies were screened at the college auditorium thereafter lunch was served to all the children.
Through this event we were able to bring a smile on the faces of children deprived of several small pleasures of life. We were able to create a sense of joy and happiness by providing them with this form of entertainment.

A donation drive across Pune for clothes,newspapers & foodgrains for the orphan children was conducted creating awareness among people regarding the needs and condition of underpivileged childrens of India and asked them to lend a helping hand.
Street plays for Social Awareness

We achieved heart touching moments and blessings of thousands of children through this initiative. Various social issues like tobacco and alcohol addiction and the importance of education were put forward.
Teaching Underpriviledged children
Children were taught English, Mathematicss and other cultural activities like art and dance. We learnt that these children have a zeal to gain more knowledge and are passionate to shape their future.. It was a great experience to know their problems, their etiquettes, their understandings and we were really surprised to see the high level of intelligence in these children.
