Events
Every camp, talk and handover, with its date
This page lists the events that the trust’s own photographs and papers can prove, in the order they happened. Each entry gives the date, the place where it is known and what the pictures show. Nothing is listed that cannot be backed by a file.
How to read this page
A calendar made from photographs
The trust does not keep a diary of future events on this website, because plans change with the weather, the number of volunteers and the gifts that arrive. What it does keep is a dated record of what has been done, and this page sets that record out.
Photograph files carry the date on which they were taken, and some events also have a poster or a newspaper clipping. Where the files give only a month or a year, this page says so. Where they give a day, the day is shown.
A volunteer will tell you what is planned and how you can help.
2021: the first records
The oldest dated records are from 2021. Food service photographs begin in June and October of that year, and a Telugu newspaper clipping dated 25 October 2021 reports a food distribution for homeless people led by the trust.
On 26 September 2021, volunteers visited the children’s home at Kondakarla, and the photographs show fruit being handed out and girls posing with volunteers. The trust’s visits to the old age home at Yanam also begin in this period: the folder holds 33 photographs from five days between June 2021 and March 2023.
2022 and 2023: the winter service
January 2023 adds four more, so seven of the 34 recorded food service days fall in the cold months of one winter. The blanket folder runs from 4 December 2021 to 8 December 2024.
On 6 July 2023, a folder named first donation records a volunteer buying a snack for a small girl at a roadside shop. It holds eleven photographs and is the earliest record of a gift to a single child.
2024: wheelchairs and a hotel get-together
On 10 and 12 May 2024, four photographs show volunteers handing a wheelchair to a man at his home. A wheelchair in its box stands in one picture; in the last, the man sits in it with volunteers behind him.
On 15 October 2024, a hotel get-together for children is recorded in photographs of children seated together in a hall and at tables. The trust does not give the number of children from these files.
2025: a hamlet lunch, an organ donation talk and a flag day
On 12 January 2025, volunteers served a hot lunch in a tribal hamlet; the photographs show serving, a child with a plate and women of the village.
On 13 July 2025, eight photographs record an organ donation awareness talk with a banner of the trust, guests seated in rows and a speaker at a table. The trust does not claim a number of pledges from the talk.
On 15 August 2025, volunteers celebrated Independence Day with children and shared sweets. From July 2025, the meals folder also begins: twenty-one photographs from fifteen days up to 23 September 2026 show trays of fruit, eggs, bread, rice and curry for children.
2026: camps, books and the widows’ programme
On 22 and 30 January 2026, five photographs show volunteers carrying sacks of rice to elders resting in a tent shelter.
A poster and five photographs from 13 and 20 February 2026 record a free medical camp with nine services, from blood pressure to a lung-function test. The poster names the founder and gives the trust number.
On 16 March 2026, ten photographs show children with notebooks and study material in front of a trust banner. On 3 and 11 August 2026, thirteen photographs show groceries and eggs given to widows in a covered hall. The most recent food service photographs in the files are from October 2026.
Blood donation camps
The blood donation folder holds twenty-two photographs from nine days between 2021 and 2026. They show volunteers giving blood, donors resting in chairs and a banner for World Blood Donation Day at a college in Anakapalle.
The trust does not publish the number of units collected, because the blood belongs to the blood centre that runs the camp and keeps the count.
Food service days counted by year
That makes 34 days in all, and the busiest month is January 2023 with four.
The counts show where pictures were kept. They are a floor, not a ceiling: a volunteer who served food and took no photograph is not in the count.
Events for children across the files
Children appear in more of the records than any other group: the Kondakarla visit of 26 September 2021, the hotel get-together of 15 October 2024, Independence Day on 15 August 2025, the notebooks event of 16 March 2026 and the meal days from July 2025 to September 2026.
Birthday cakes at children’s homes also appear in the photographs, with girls lined up in front of a small table and volunteers clapping. Each of these is an ordinary day made a little brighter, and each was arranged with the caretaker of the home.
Events for elders and for women
For elders, the records hold the Yanam old age home visits between June 2021 and March 2023, and the rice for elders in a shelter on 22 and 30 January 2026.
For women, the widows’ programme of 3 and 11 August 2026 gave groceries and eggs, and the annual report 2023-24 records 30 people in skill training in tailoring, embroidery, computer literacy and basic financial management.
What is not on this calendar
No dated photographs exist for the food service in 2024, which does not prove that nothing happened; it means no pictures were kept or supplied. The trust will not list a service it cannot show.
Registration papers, the date on which the trust was formed and the dates of some older programmes are not in the files supplied. They will be added when the trust has them.
How a school, a group or a family can host an event
A camp, a talk or a meal day needs a place, a date, a few volunteers and a list of what is needed. Tell the trust what you have in mind and the size of the group, and a volunteer will visit the place first.
Events for children are planned with the caretaker or the teacher, and photographs are taken only with their approval.
If you would rather give than host, a sponsored meal, a sack of rice or a set of notebooks can be tied to a date you choose. Say the date and the purpose when you call, and the volunteers will use the gift for that day and send you a photograph where one exists.

Questions
Questions about events
Short answers to what people ask before they join or host an event.
Is there a list of future events?
Not on this website.
Can I attend a food service as a visitor?
Yes. Ask the volunteer for the time and place, keep a little distance while food is served and do not photograph people who turn away.
Can my school or company organise a camp with you?
Write to the trust with the size of your group and the kind of event you have in mind. A volunteer will call back and visit the place.
Why are some dates only a month or a year?
Because the files supplied give only that much. The trust shows the date it can prove and nothing more.
Do you publish photographs of children?
Only where the caretaker or teacher approves. A photograph is taken down if a person asks.
