Sad! NGO Goonj burns down on Diwali

Here I was asking you to spread the message against crackers and there a cracker did this to Goonj's centre in Delhi.

Seven hours of un-manageable fire, ten fire brigades till 2am on Diwali night. 3,000sqft of area, tons of material, where we all had put in our days and nights turned into ash!

Nothing much to say...anger on this insane, menace, vulgarity called crackers!

Will share more as we fight back but certainly one of the saddest moments for the team and lakhs of people who are a part of Goonj's larger family...particularly sad as blankets to woollens, clothes to whatever is needed much more, in the days to come! Response on a few things from our Delhi office might be slow for the next couple of days as the team is fighting back with this huge loss of material, money and space!
