6 year old Vihaan Tiwari from London believes a little faith can do wonders, very similar to author Dan Brown. He held a charity event for UNICEF UK at ASDA Hounslow on Saturday 17th to raise money for unprivileged children under his parents’ guidance.
Vihaan is a simple yet an inquisitive and curious boy who is always full of questions just like the children of his age and came up with this wonderful and noble idea of setting up a juice corner for a charity event so that he could raise money for children who are not as privileged as him and his friends. He called it - 'Juice For Charity.'
Vihaan is a Year 1 student at The Mall School, Twickenham and has already raised money for NSPCC and Rotary box shoe appeal in the past. With the help and support from UNICEF UK and guidance provided by his parents and Varindar Kaur, ASDA Community Champion Vihaan's dream of ‘Juice for charity’ event was held. An online link for donation through justgiving.com was also set up by his father, Jawahar Tiwari, for friends and families who were unable to attend the event.
Full of enthusiasm but little shy as expected, Vihaan started his charity work early morning. Every customer who approached him was greeted by his lovely smile along with a bottle of juice. His efforts were wholeheartedly encouraged by the people visiting and he was able to raise £393, including online donations, as we went to press.
Vihaan’s parents are extremely proud of his thoughtful idea and wish that other kids are also motivated to help and care for the underprivileged, something which is so much needed in today's world.
