UDAY Foundation
With social good at the heart of everything it does, Theatre for a Cause (TFAC) stepped up yet again to supplement the efforts of the Government, NGOs, Corporates and individuals alike in ensuring that the daily wage earners in Delhi, who have lost their livelihood due to the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown are served food, while at the same time spread hope and positivity.
Music has a universal appeal. In keeping with this belief, TFAC had started a campaign, titled ‘SING FOR A CAUSE’ on social media platforms, namely Facebook and Instagram asking individuals to record a 30 second video singing any ABBA (a world famous pop group in the 1970s) song. For every clip that the TFAC team received, they gifted a meal to 20 people. For this purpose, TFAC had collaborated with two NGOs in the city, The Blind Relief Association, Delhi, which had been serving the visually impaired since 1944 and Uday Foundation that works with the urban poor through various outreach programs. The campus kitchen at The Blind Relief Association, Delhi was being used to hygienically cook the meals and the responsibility of distributing the food has been shouldered by the team of Uday Foundation.
The campaign received tremendous response. TFAC received songs from more than two hundred and seventy people of various nationalities, from across six continents, from countries such as Panama, Honduras, Puerto Rico, Denmark, Sweden, Thailand, UK, USA and many others, all speaking the common language of music and love. TFAC gifted 4600 meals to the homeless affected by Delhi’s lockdown through this campaign. Founders’ of TFAC, Vandana Munjal, Radhika Bharatram and Ritu Rae Chandra speak, “The amazing outpouring of support from around the world not only humbled us but has also encouraged us to do much more. Music, Dance and Theatre, as we firmly believe transcend borders and can be a beacon for hope and positivity especially in troubled times like these!”
