GOPIO’s Caring and Sharing initiative works for the welfare of the deprived and destitute

The Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO), Sydney North West Chapter, have been working for the past six years to help the underprivileged and poor. It has raised significant funds that have been donated to organizations that cater to the underprivileged in India and Australia. The success of their yearly charity events is a result of the commitment and support of GOPIO North West’s sponsors, partners and the team members.

The Samaritans have been personally delivering products and items for bettering the lives of the impoverished and disadvantaged. For the last few years GOPIO team members; Prof. Balkar Singh Kang, Harmohan Singh Walia and Sumit Joshi have been personally delivering basic amenities, such as warm cloths, water cooler, sports items to underprivileged children of Government Middle School of village Wara Poh Windia (Punjab), Govt Primary School Shahwala Zira (Punjab) and Govt. school, village Chundiala, Distt. Ambala (Haryana). In 2014, the team supported a high school student Manoj Mahajan of Gurdaspur to procure prosthetic legs. The young boy belonged to a poor family who also lost their bread earner in an accident.

The team has been consistently achieving their fundraising goals year on year. The team announced that they have supported more than 2000 underprivileged school children in remote areas of Punjab & Haryana, India.

The welfare organization has also done fantastic work within Sydney community. Their ‘Social Responsibility’ strategy is aimed at enabling underprivileged for a better future and also to create awareness in the community.

The organization has assisted an old age-care facility RAINS, Blue Mountain bush fire victims, Nepal earthquake victims, an underprivileged cancer patient in India and a young widow in Australia with financial aids.

The association evaluates every opportunity to help and support the needy individuals locally and internationally. GOPIO North West’s Caring & Sharing events offer the great opportunity to raise awareness for underprivileged children and individuals in the community.
