THATHRI, DODA: The Chenab Times Foundation (CTF) today distributed badminton kits among children in the remote Tanta Kahara area of Doda district, located in the picturesque Chenab Valley of Jammu and Kashmir. The heartwarming distribution event was led by CTF President Anzer Ayoob, accompanied by The Chenab Times Marketing Editor Raja Shakeel, Range Officer Shafer Iqbal, and Ajaz Hussain.
This initiative comes after a video captured by Range Officer Shafer Iqbal during an official visit went viral on social media. The video showcased two children playfully using dustpans, igniting a spark of concern and compassion among viewers. With over 200,000 views across Facebook and Instagram, the video prompted numerous individuals to reach out to CTF, expressing their desire to donate badminton kits to the children.
"We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming response to the video," stated CTF President Anzer Ayoob. "The generosity of Royal Photostat Thathri and ShopinKashmir.com, a Kashmir-based dry fruits website, enabled us to fulfill this heartfelt request and provide these children with a healthy and engaging way to spend their time."
The badminton kits were received with immense joy by the children and their families. The event not only brought smiles to their faces but also highlighted the power of social media in raising awareness and facilitating positive change within communities.
The Chenab Times Foundation continues its dedication to supporting the underprivileged and fostering development in the Chenab Valley region. The success of this event is a shining example of what can be achieved when a local organization, like the Chenab Times Foundation, joins forces with caring viewers and generous donors. It highlights the power of community spirit in action.
