    [ezcol_2third]Blue Santa Claus [/ezcol_2third] [ezcol_1third_end]

    Did you know that the red and white clothes of Santa Claus are not really of his choice. They are the colors of Coca-Cola.

    It is popularly believed that in the 1920’s an artist for Coca-Cola drew Santa Claus in the colors red and white and today we all think of Santa as a jolly old man in red and white.

    That was then.

    Today Santa Claus needs to change his wardrobe to blue and green.

    Our planet is heading for a water crisis and soon children would be hanging drawing of filled water bottles and rain under their Christmas trees.

    Did you know that Santa’s home is near the North Pole?

    And did you know that the North Pole has a massive ozone hole right above it that is causing the ice there to melt?

    Santa’s home and factories are being destroyed and it is because of our selfish lifestyle.

    Christmas is a holiday that embodies selflessness, togetherness and feeling of oneness as a species.

    This Christmas let’s paint Santa blue. This Christmas let’s all gift ourselves a WATER SECURE future.

    World Toilet Day Celebration

    Nov 19, 2015 | Events | 0 comments

    These women have worked tirelessly to make their respective communities Open Defecation (OD) Free. They have understood the much touted saying that Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

    As part of their felicitation by FORCE under the “Swatch Delhi, Swasth Delhi” (Clean Delhi, Healthy Delhi) project funded by WaterAid, the women sang bhajans in the house of God and gave a new meaning to cleanliness and Godliness.

    Jyoti Sharma, President FORCE congratulated the women on their achievement and said, “God lives where cleanliness exists. We women must take this message all over the world.”

    This is the last song sung by the women during the program. The song has been written and composed by the women themselves.

    The song congratulates ( offers “badhai”) to the women who have worked to make their respective communities OD free. And through the song, women are also making a promise that they will construct toilets in their homes and encourage all to do the same.
