The students have collected Rs 38.5 lakh in 16 days
JAIPUR: Thirteen students of Jayshree Periwal International School, through a campaign for Covid relief, have collected Rs 38.5 lakh in 16 days (as on Monday). The students donated 50 oxygen concentrators including 25 to the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO), Jaipur on May 19. The campaign was started by 13 students of class XII of the school on May 8 by launching a 48-hour live streaming fund-raising campaign to collect the funds.
The team produced nonstop content for two days including pre-recorded messages from Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, AIIMS director Randeep Guleria, Bollywood actor Sharman Joshi and musical presentations by students, live interviews. “The idea came to our mind when cases started surging in the country. This time, we thought to make a difference by doing something which can save lives. Keeping that in mind, most of us wanted to contribute and we decided to reach out to our near and dear ones who believe in our idea and intention,” said Krish Sharma, one of the founding members of the campaign.
The team zeroed in on oxygen concentrators following the media reports on how people were dying for want of oxygen. They are still receiving funds and now would like to purchase the oxygen machines from other districts in the state.
