The
Shishukunj family would like to warmly invite families from the London community to come together for a hands-on day of service with the
Jai Jagat Family ("One World Family") of children and mentors on Saturday, June 15th from 10am - 1:30pm at Shishukunj Bhavan in Edgware (25, 27 High St, Edgware HA8 7EE and
map link). In the spirit of bringing the values of Jai Jagat to life, we are planning to prepare backpack kits filled with useful items and lots of love for children from disadvantaged communities around the world, which will be delivered by our partner charity,
Mary's Meals.
The flow for the day is as follows:
- 10:00am - Welcome
- 10:15am - Service Activities in small groups
- 12:15pm - Clear up and store kits
- 12:30pm - Vegetarian Lunch offered by volunteers from Shishukunj
- 1:30pm - Conclude
Please RSVP to let us know if you'll be joining this gathering to help the volunteers plan food and the set-up for the evening. Please submit one RSVP per adult and if you are bringing children, please RSVP for them using
this Family RSVP Link so we can include them in the numbers as well.
Collection of Items for Kits
In the lead up to June 15th, we will be collecting items that the community wishes to offer to make rucksacks filled with useful items for children in poor communities around the world including school supplies, stationary, basic toiletries, etc. Here is a
complete list from Mary's Meals on useful items to pack.
You are welcome to drop-off items you feel moved to contribute for the kits ahead of time or you can also bring items on the day itself to assemble the kits. You can drop off items on 8th June at Shishukunj Bhavan in

Kenton or
