Live, Love, Laugh - An Introduction

Over the past year, Anand Charity has made tremendous progress as an organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of Indians."Live, Love, Laugh, " our founders said, when they started the charity as a way to give back to India. "Live, Love, Laugh" has since been Anand Charity's tagline. We have always looked at newer, more powerful ways to reach out to more Indians worldwide, to spread our message, and to enable them to help the less fortunate. Recognizing the power of the world-wide web, we have now given our blog a new avatar - Live, Love, Laugh - with a broader theme, and a bigger appeal.

A blog, if well-done, is a confluence of the powerful online medium and responsible journalism. "Live, Love, Laugh," we hope, will transform into a blog that not only details Anand Charity's projects and partners, but also appeals to a wider reader base. We will attempt to draw attention towards India-centric charitable institutions, activities and social entrepreneurship.

The Anand Charity team also realized that a good portion of the Indian community abroad wants to contribute but does not find a reliable conduit to do so. There is a dearth of research and ground work from trusted sources. The general lack of confidence in the usage of their donations inhibits many from offering help. The "Live, Love, Laugh" team will bridge this gap by offering case studies and reports of genuine charitable organizations and efforts we come across. The team comprising of Anand Charity volunteers with a common passion to write, and deliver impact through information will strive to be your trusted source. More on the team can be found at http://blog.anandcharity.org/team

In summary, "Live, Love, Laugh" is Anand Charity's attempt to facilitate millions yearning to give something back to their country. The avenues are there, through Anand Charity or otherwise. If we can shake off the inertia, and act on our noble thoughts, we can collectively make a difference to India. Through Anand Charity and "Live, Love, Laugh", we hope to provide you with the inspiration and the tools to do so.
