The Live 4 Help Foundation recently conducted two successful blanket distribution activities in Delhi, reaching out to 180 families in need. With sponsorship from ERBE Medical India Pvt Ltd, the foundation provided winter relief to these families through two events held on the same day.

The first event, in collaboration with The Stand N Stride Foundation, saw the distribution of high-quality blankets and refreshments to 120 students at their SnS Park Pathshala in Sector 19, Dwarka. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Amod Poddar (Founder) and Usha Zalpuri (General Secretary) of Stand N Stride Foundation for their unwavering support and encouraging words. They emphasized that these blankets not only provide warmth during the cold weather but also strengthen the bond of trust between mentors and children. We are deeply thankful to both Stand N Stride Foundation and ERBE for their unwavering support of our vision to protect and empower the new generation. Special thanks are also due to Ritesh Kumar, a dedicated volunteer of Live 4 Help Foundation for his meticulous arrangements for refreshments and coordination.

The second event took place at Arya Mahila Ashram, Delhi, where blankets were distributed to 60 elderly single women. We were profoundly touched by the stories we heard and the resilience of the beneficiaries, highlighting how even a small gesture can provide immense relief during Delhi’s harsh winter. We are grateful to Sanskriti Rajput and the NSS team of volunteers for their efficient arrangements and coordination.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Rakesh Kundu, Executive Director at ERBE, and his larger Delhi team for their unwavering support of the foundation’s cause. We are inspired by Rakesh’s leadership and humbled by the trust and faith ERBE has placed in the Live 4 Help Foundation since its inception. Together, we remain committed to advancing our vision.

Additionally, we acknowledge the dedicated efforts of Tarun Maiti, Projjal Maitra, and Krishna Gopal Verma from the Live 4 Help Foundation for their exemplary organization and coordination with all stakeholders.

Attached are a few snaps capturing the essence of both events.

The Live 4 Help (L4H) Foundation believes in the power of face-to-face interactions to build strong relationships with students and motivate them to achieve their full potential. In December 2025, three core members, Tarun Maiti from Delhi, Ramkrishna Sadhukhan from the USA, and Asis Das from Kolkata, embarked on a five-day tour of West Bengal and Jharkhand to meet and support students.

The primary objective of these meetings was to review the students’ progress, address any challenges they might be facing, and understand their aspirations. Additionally, the team aimed to assess whether any additional facilities or support were needed to enhance their performance and morale.

On December 20th, the L4H team visited the Bankura District of West Bengal and met with Shatarupa Mandal, who is pursuing her second year of MBBS. at Bankura Sammilani Medical College.  She expressed determination to make the most of the limited resources and facilities available on campus and assured us that her efforts, coupled with our support, would not go in vain.

The following day, December 21st, the team travelled to Purulia town and met Shubham Pandey, who is pursuing a PhD at the University of Florida after completing a master’s degree from IIT, Chennai, and Hriday Pramanik, who is progressing well in his Engineering studies. After detailed discussions about their studies, the team visited their homes to meet and encourage their parents, who were extremely delighted to see us.

On December 22nd, the team visited Trimurti Public School in Chas, Bokaro, where they met seven students: Ayush Kumar, Sakshi, Kushi Kumari, Riya Raj, Md. Taslim, Sahiba Kaur, and Price Kumar Jha. The team interacted with each student individually, reviewed their progress, and provided advice on achieving their goals. The Vice Principal of the school, Smt. Razia Sultan, was found to be very cooperative and supportive of both the students and L4H.

On December 23rd, the team moved to Madhupur and visited Anandalaya Public School in Jharkhand and had detailed interactions with seven students: Abha Kumari, Punam Kisku, Rakhi Kumari, Jeenat Parween, Subhani Parween, Mahin Parween, and Puja Kumari. While the students were generally doing well, they expressed concerns about their proficiency in English. Virtual classes on spoken English were suggested as a potential solution to help them immensely. The team also felt that periodic reviews and regular interactions would boost their morale and build a sense of accountability.

In Kolkata, the team met with five students: Satyabrata Patra and Subhankar Das from Belgharia R. K. Mission Student’s Home, and Rohan Dwari, Babita Giri, and Sudip Das from East Garia Educational Institution. Jayanta Guin, one of our sponsors from the USA, accompanied the team to meet with Rohit Dwari, whom he is supporting, as well as other students from East Garia Educational Institution. The team’s goal is to connect students with their sponsors to provide first-hand experiences.

Overall, the team connected with 22 students, reaffirming L4H’s commitment to these interactions. They were pleased to learn that some students aspired to become IAS and IPS officers, while others were keen on pursuing higher studies.

The Live 4 Help Foundation continues its mission to connect students, parents, and teachers, fostering a supportive community where success stories inspire and needs are identified. Our newly established group forum enables students to share achievements and seek assistance from peers, with several students and volunteers already collaborating online. Though this initiative is in its early stages, we have witnessed meaningful connections and tangible support.

We are proud to announce the achievements of our sponsored students. Subham Panday, one of our earliest beneficiaries, recently completed master’s from IIT, Madras. He also received a US visa and will pursue a PhD at the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, University of Florida. We also celebrate Srijita Basak, who ranked second in her fourth semester of BA Geography, earning top grades (A+ & O) across all subjects.

Our core members remain dedicated, maintaining regular contact with students through phone calls, in-person meetings, and ongoing mentorship. Recently, we planned a five-day, four-night trip to Bankura and Purulia, scheduled for December, where we will meet eighteen students and additional beneficiaries in and around Kolkata.  Photographs from our recent meeting have been included for your reference.

During the festive season, the Live4Help Foundation demonstrated its commitment to community welfare by actively participating in local celebrations and generously providing backpacks to students. This thoughtful gesture not only fulfilled a practical need, ensuring that students are equipped with essential supplies for their education, but also contributed significantly to the overall joy and spirit of the festivities. By supporting young learners in this manner, the Foundation fostered a sense of inclusion and care, reinforcing the values of generosity and togetherness that define the season.

Empowering Students Through Education

The Live 4 Help Foundation is dedicated to supporting education by providing essential books to underprivileged students. Believing that education is a fundamental right, the foundation partners with organizations and sponsors like M/S Bharati Bhawan Publishers and Distributor, whose generosity has helped equip many students with vital learning materials.

A recent success story is that of Radhika Goyal, a class XII student who received much-needed textbooks through this partnership, enabling her to continue her studies despite financial obstacles. Such acts of support not only provide resources but also inspire hope and perseverance in students facing adversity.

By distributing books and supplies, the foundation strives to eliminate barriers to education, empowering young people to pursue their dreams. The ongoing need for educational support means every contribution—whether financial donations, book donations, or corporate partnerships—makes a difference.
