The Charity Club of GEMS Arts and Science College (Autonomous) organized a heartfelt Charity Fundraising Programme on 14th October 2025, aiming to extend immediate financial assistance to Mr. Suneesh, a young man in urgent need of a kidney transplantation that costs approximately ₹40,00,000. The programme reflected the club’s ongoing commitment to promoting empathy, social responsibility, and collective action for humanitarian causes.
The afternoon began with the gathering of Charity Club members at the college campus. The session was led by Mr. Aravind K.R., Faculty Coordinator of the Charity Club, who guided the students on how to carry out the fundraising activity effectively and ethically. He emphasized the importance of compassion, teamwork, and the moral duty of helping those in distress. His briefing inspired the students and set the tone for the day’s activity, instilling in everyone a strong sense of purpose and solidarity.
Following the guidance, the club members were divided into groups, each assigned to different areas of the college to ensure that the fund collection covered the entire campus. The teams approached students, faculty members, and non-teaching staff, explaining the medical condition of Mr. Suneesh and the urgency of financial support required for his kidney transplant. The sincerity and commitment of the students encouraged many to contribute wholeheartedly to the cause.
As the fundraising progressed, the atmosphere across the college became filled with warmth and compassion. Teachers, students, and staff alike came forward to make their contributions, reaffirming the spirit of community within the institution. Through this united effort, the Charity Club successfully collected a total amount of ₹20,000 from the college community.
The funds were earmarked as immediate financial assistance for Mr. Suneesh’s medical treatment. Though the amount represented only a fraction of the total expense, the initiative symbolized a collective act of humanity — a gesture of care that carried immense emotional and moral value. The contributions gathered from the campus were later added to the broader public fundraising effort for his surgery.
By the end of the day, the Charity Fundraising Programme stood as a shining example of compassion in action. It not only fulfilled its objective of supporting a life in need but also fostered a sense of unity and empathy among the students. The programme reflected how the power of small individual contributions, when combined, can make a profound difference in society.
