ChildRaiseTrust P.F.H Talent Show
When there were no signs of Corona 19 Pandemic dying down, we visualised this event for kids to keep them engaged creatively, emotionally to maintain their happiness quotient. We coined a new term PFH. It meant Perform From Home and also ChildRaise being their Partner for Health.We wanted them to be safe at home, hale & hearty. PFH was an inclusive talent show.Open for all kids below 18.By public demand we added another category - above 18. We loved this demand. Presenting to you all an absolute adorable video where all kids have danced, sung songs, played instruments in the safe environment of their homes.Their smiles, happiness will surely help to drive away the blues & spread cheer in these Covid times. Here is the link to view the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7ANeMw1eLA
Our efforts at Fundraising
As the world is under a cloud of a pandemic, United Way Mumbai, the philanthropic partner of TATA Mumbai Marathon has initiated a special fundraiser for charities affected by COVID-19. We, at ChildRaise Trust are grateful to be a part of this fundraiser. We have been taking part in Marathon for the past several years, and raising funds through bibs and running slots. For the first time, we Trustees and our Team members pitched in and we together as a team are trying to raise funds as individual fundraisers. We are urging our family, friends, well wishers & extended circles to come forward and donate to our cause. Our charity page will be open till March 2021.

Ganesha Making Competition
This year's Ganesh Utsav was different. There were no Sarvajanik Ganesh mandals, people visiting and taking darshans of their favourite deity Ganapati, singing Ganesh aarti. So we thought of this event where our students made Ganesha idol & decorated it and worshipped at home.
