On Friday, the 18th of March, The Butterfly Effect 🦋 organized a fund raising food sale to finance ongoing projects.💫
Since the members of the team aren't all from the same class, we asked two classes to contribute by bringing food and sell.💪
All in all, everything went smoothly, people were happy, and we sold everything. 📈
This was an eye opening experience for us and we hope that it'll inspire the people around us and you of course !

With the growing darkness of COVID-19 engulfing the entire world, forcing people to stay home, silencing the busiest places of the world with a wave of fear and death, there has been some ray of light on environmental issues…It is unfortunate that such a pandemic that claims millions of lives is bringing such a change on the environment when we should have acted long back, which would have prevented this in the first place. We humans are still able to manage somehow but what about the strays who were dependent on us for the food? Let's take a moment to think about them and donate a certain amount so that we can cover up as many animals we can by providing them food and medical support. Remember "one who feeds a hungry animal, feeds his own soul"
Soon we are going to start a fundraiser where we expect everyone to support us so that we can feed as many strays as we can with a healthy and nutritious meal. Let's do this for the sake of humanity and love. #dog #dogs #dogsofinstagram #instadogs #igdogs #dogpictures #dogphotos #happydog #famousdogs #doggie #dogslife #doggylove #addorabledog #dogsbeingdogs #dogselfie #dogtreats #soba #sobadelhincr #scindian #scindiaschool #scindians #gslgoals
