Its been a pleasure all the way to be associated with SHADE group, for the past 3 years. Though I keep track of the activities and try to contribute whenever I can.
It is an initiative started by a fellow IT employee named Raghavan. He collects whatever amount which is possible to contribute by his friends, family, colleagues each month and donate to a social cause. The initial announcement regarding this group was sent by him, gathered interest among the like minded people. Now the group does many activities like supporting some NGOs, orphanages, etc as and when need arises.
Please visit the SHADE website to know more. They have their presence in both google groups and facebook.
What I like about this group is transactions are transparent and contributions reaches the expected deprieved people in time. I wish them good luck in their initiative
