This is your opportunity to reach out to someone less privileged – by donating money, volunteering time, providing your skills and even just saying a kind word to someone who may not have expected it from you.

All you need to be part of the Joy of Giving Week is to do one simple conscious act of giving. So join the movement, now!

Think about it

When was the last time someone gave us a gift without any reason ? Or when was the last time we gave a gift to someone without a reason? And when we do give gifts ....how much time do we spend thinking about them?

How many things we have and how many things we give away ?

Every day is consumed by struggles of our own lives. Our life revolves around us ... we are the centre of the universe. We don't even get a few minutes when we are thinking about others, their welfare, what they like or dislike.

The 7 day Gifting Challenge aims to take the focus away from YOU and on to others. The only real condition in this challenge that all the 7 gifts would be meaningful and some thought would have gone into them. The idea is that by giving gifts and thinking really hard about making meaningful gifts will take the focus away from us. This can make us happier, healthier and full of life. And it will touch the receiver of the gifts.

So here is the 7 day challenge deal:

Give one gift each day for 7 days. Give a meaningful gift to a friend or a complete stranger. Put a little thought to each of the gifts that you make. See the world change and see the change in you.

Pick a Date, Pick 7 gifts, Give one gift a day. Simple

We don't promise that miracles will happen... but we promise that the 7 days of your gifting adventure will be fun.

So start gifting....

It could even be a glass of water wich would quench ones thirst. The Joy Of Giving Week Is A National Movement Calling On All Indians To enjoy the joy of giving. so please do choose a day and start gifting and enjoy the joy of giving.

Newseum Blends High-Tech With Historical

The Newseum — a 250,000-square-foot museum of news — offers visitors an experience that blends five centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits.

The Newseum is located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Sixth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., on America’s Main Street between the White House and the U.S. Capitol and adjacent to the Smithsonian museums on the National Mall. The exterior’s unique architectural features include a 74-foot-high marble engraving of the First Amendment and an immense front wall of glass through which passers-by can watch the museum fulfill its mission of providing a forum where the media and the public can gain a better understanding of each other.

The Newseum features seven levels of galleries, theaters, retail spaces and visitor services. It offers a unique environment that takes museumgoers behind the scenes to experience how and why news is made.

"Visitors will come away with a better understanding of news and the important role it plays in all of our lives," said Newseum Executive Director and Senior Vice President Joe Urschel. "The new Newseum is educational, inspirational and a whole lot of fun."
