Mission5 starts in Hyderabad

On January 1, 2009, Mission 5 started in Hyderabad.

As the students’ initiative nears its second-year completion
on February 2, 2009, the youth campaign extended its helping hands to a few more disabled and deprived, in yet another city after its successful running in Bangalore and Pune.

A four-member core group from VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering & Technology, Bachupally, Hyderabad,
began the journey in the end of 2008, and conducted their first activity on the occasion of New Year, January 1, 2009.

A team of volunteers, on a 5-day collection drive in the college, collected a total of Rs 10,771.

They then donated requirements like 15 plastic chairs, 2 table fans and craft materials to Adharana Special School for Mentally Challenged – a home for 45 mentally challenged persons of age-group 7-50 years, and also celebrated New Year with them by cutting a cake.

The celebration was participated by a total of 15 students from the same college.
