Corona Relief: Delivering Meals
At the height of the Corona lockdown and the resulting migrant crisis, iVolunteer undertook a campaign to deliver meals to the needy. The campaign ended as the urgency and the scale reduced. Our volunteers, donors and partners made this happen - our sincere thanks to them all!!
T
he COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted immense misery and suffering on people. As a result common people, industries, educational setups and housing neighbourhoods face a complete lockdown. However, the country’s lifeline continues through the commitment of public service officials like policemen, health service providers and municipal workers - who soldier on fighting the most unexpected odds in these difficult times. There are also several marginalised sections of society who are facing tremendous food insecurity and need help.
To support those affected as well as those who continue to serve the society, iVolunteer sprung into action reaching out to its network of volunteers and partner organisations to understand where the need is most critical. It is now helping deliver meals to thousands of people every day in many cities across India.

Independence Day Celebration by singing the national anthem in Sign Language
This Independence Day - Let’s celebrate it little differently by learning and signing the National Anthem in sign language. By celebrating Independence Day and recognizes the importance of sign languages for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and fulfilling its core promise of leaving no one behind. It also offers an opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all sign language users. According to the World Federation of the Deaf, there are approximately 72 million deaf people worldwide. More than 80% of them live in developing countries. Collectively, they use more than 300 different sign languages. Sign languages are fully fledged natural languages, structurally distinct from the spoken languages. There is also an international sign language, which is used by deaf people in international meetings and informally when travelling and socializing. It is considered a pidgin form of sign language that is not as complex as natural sign languages and has a limited lexicon. We will train the volunteer how to sign their names and Basic conversation with Deaf and Mute People (who will also be Volunteers) then National Anthem will be taught in sign Language.

Content writing and /or Layout designing skills 4. Familiarity with use of social media About IAPA: Indian Association for Promotion of Adoption and Child Welfare (IAPA) was formed in 1970, out of a deep concern that most orphaned/abandoned children were deprived of the love and nurturance available in a family set-up. Initially our focus was on finding adoptive families for such children and creating awareness for adoption across the country. These children placed with us, are cared for in a foster family, till they are adopted. Over the years IAPA has gone beyond adoption and reached out to children under different states of deprivation. In case of children lacking opportunities for education and all-round development, the same is facilitated through our Educational Sponsorship program. For children facing serious neglect or risk of separation from their families, the Family Preservation program ensures that the children continue to grow, either in their own family or in an alternative family within their kinship circle. Supportive Services, viz, Child Guidance Centre (CGC), Project for Developing Capacities, Vocational Training, Micro Finance, Medical and Higher Education assistance , ensure the all-round development of the child and empowerment of the family. Located in Mumbai and another rural location, we work with families as well as the community, to achieve our goals for children. What makes IAPA unique, is its holistic approach towards the welfare of children. Guidance, counselling and multiple supports provided by IAPA, ensure that every child in need of care, protection and education, gets the opportunity to thrive.
