New Delhi [India], October 22: Recently, the International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) teamed up with Kalakar Tattoo Studio to organize a heartwarming charitable event at the Anandmarga Ashram Orphanage in Balasore, India. This initiative aimed not only to meet the children’s basic needs but also to fill their day with laughter and hope through a series of engaging activities. The event brought smiles and support to the orphanage’s children, giving them a sense of care and warmth.
The event was organized by Pallab Das Mohapatra, who, with the support of IYDF, led a team of volunteers. These volunteers included Sunil Mohanty, Jyoti Prakash, Rashmi Ran, Ranjit Das, Dinesh Sathapaty, and Biswajit Das Mohapatra. Their dedication and passion made the day an enriching experience for the children, bringing much-needed joy and companionship.
Bringing Supplies and Smiles to the Children
The event kicked off at 11 a.m. and lasted until 4:15 p.m., during which time 89 children from the orphanage received a variety of donations, including essential supplies and fun-filled activities. The day was packed with joy, as the children eagerly participated in activities such as drawing, dancing, singing, and cricket, all of which brought long-lost smiles back to their faces.
IYDF and Kalakar Tattoo Studio provided a range of materials to support the children’s needs, including five carrom boards, biscuits, cooking oil, soap, notebooks, five cricket bats, 14 balls, individual paint sets, flour, soybeans, rice, skipping ropes, drawing paper, puzzle sets, ludo boards, draughts, Chinese checkers, brain games, pens, pencils, and toothpaste. These donations not only met the children’s daily needs but also offered them new ways to enjoy their free time and explore their creativity.
“We understand that some of these children, though they have parents, have become orphans due to various reasons,” said one of the volunteers. “Through this event, we hope to give them emotional warmth and support, showing them that there are people who care about them.”
Fun-Filled Activities: Fostering Joy and Connection
As the event unfolded, the children’s initial shyness quickly turned into laughter and excitement as they bonded with the volunteers. The volunteers engaged in heartfelt conversations with the children and spent quality time playing games and sharing stories. Through drawing, the children expressed their dreams, while dancing and singing allowed them to release their stresses in a joyful and lively environment. The cricket match, one of India’s most beloved sports, brought the children and volunteers together in a spirited game, which quickly became the highlight of the day.
In addition to the fun activities, the volunteers were attentive to the children’s mental well-being. “We wanted to provide not only material support but also emotional encouragement,” said one of the volunteers. This added layer of care made the event even more meaningful, offering the children a chance to feel valued and loved.

A Commitment to Return: Ongoing Support and Hope
As the day drew to a close, the children found it hard to say goodbye, with some shedding tears as they bid farewell to the volunteers. The scene was deeply moving, and the volunteers, too, felt the gravity of their responsibility. Pallab Das Mohapatra, the event’s organizer, pledged to continue their efforts: “We’ve decided to return here every month. We want to provide ongoing support and help these children overcome their challenges, offering them a brighter future.”
Spreading Love and Building a Better Tomorrow
The event not only brought warmth to the children but also deeply touched the volunteers. “Seeing the smiles on the children’s faces made all the hard work worthwhile,” one volunteer remarked. “We truly believe that by coming together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of these children.”
Kalakar Tattoo Studio, through its collaboration with IYDF, demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility, raising awareness about the importance of supporting vulnerable groups. Moving forward, IYDF and Kalakar Tattoo Studio plan to continue working together, organizing similar aid initiatives to bring hope and opportunities to more children in need.
This successful event showcased the power of kindness and the greatness of human solidarity. As more businesses and individuals join the movement to support orphans and vulnerable communities, the impact will only grow, creating a brighter and better future for those who need it most.
