Hard Rock Cafe is conducting a Book Drive for the Sakshi NGO Library Program, where people can donate books or funds towards the purchase of books for Sakshi libraries in slum schools and win exciting prizes in the process. People can participate in-person at the Hard Rock Cafe, DLF Mall, Saket, New Delhi or online at the links below. 

Hard Rock as a brand is associated with music and youth and by partnering with Sakshi, which is celebrating 20 years working in Health, Education and Community Development and empowering the poorest of poor to break the cycle of poverty, Hard Rock has also created a platform for their consumers to be a part of a worthwhile cause.

As Sakshi VP, Ms. Jaya Tandon, says in the press note:

“Under its Library Program, Sakshi builds and runs libraries in slum schools with books and trained librarians who teach via engaging games, arts and crafts and story-telling sessions. The Library Program helps children bloom by promoting the habit of reading, improving concentration and inculcating a love of learning.  Without help, most children drop-out of slum schools to face a life of poverty. Sakshi’s Library Program equips children with the values, life skills and abilities needed to excel in both school and life so they can walk into the brighter future their parents could only dream of. We are very happy that Hard Rock with its philosophy of Love All, Serve All has decided to support our efforts and our city’s children. We encourage people to participate in the Book Drive and if they cannot make it to HRC Delhi, we encourage them to imbibe the spirit of service espoused by the Book Drive and the Sakshi Library Program and give books and do what they can to support the education of underprivileged children around them.” 

Ms. Tandon and HRC Marketing Director, Ms. Kanika Kumar inaugurated the Book Drive in the best way possible, by donating armfuls of books. You too can learn more and participate at the links below:
