Its time now to start the planning for this year’s JGW festival from 2-8

THE JOY OF GIVING WEEK is held every year from Oct 2nd – 8th and is
India's festival of giving. A platform that brings together people from all
walks of life, and encourages them to celebrate giving – time, money,
skills or love. Its concerted effort across NGOs, companies, celebrities,
media, schools, colleges, and the “aam junta”…Started in
2009, this year (Oct 2-8, 2013) will be the 5th edition. Last year conservative
estimates say 2 million+ people participated in 70+ cities with 800+ events
registered (from small individual events to those involving >100,000 people)
and Rs 30cr+ generated in donations of cash and materials along with millions
of volunteer hours. Watch www.youtube.com/joyofgivingweek
