"family affair" - in the service of others
"In the joy of others, lies our own" - Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
"family affair" is a non-religious group of a family and good friends from Singapore who have come together to do voluntary charity work. The group does one "project" annually in India at an orphanage chosen by the team members. In 2013, we did our first project outside India (in Nepal) and are now open to locations, as long as we find the right orphanage.
One of the missions of "family affair" is to bring happiness and offer a ray of hope to less-privileged children, who have nothing and literally no one to care for them. Our project involves several activities which impart certain skills to the children that they can potentially use to earn a living, and includes recreational activities such as games, an outing, a trip to the movies, etc., many of which are a first-time experience for these children. Above all, the very fact that a group of people take so much interest and showers affection on them means so much to the children.
