It may be a time for social distancing, yet it is also a time when the country is coming closer. A group of children from a Mahalakshmi building have decided to clean cars in their housing society during the pandemic, to raise funds for the families of Indian security forces slain while fighting terror in Kashmir. So far they have collected approximately R75,000. The children, at least 14 of them, have dubbed the initiative as Steer-A-Change.

The campaign

Aarushi Jhaveri, 12, from Aditya Birla World Academy (ABWA) school said of the recent initiative, "Soldiers sacrifice a lot in the line of duty to keep us safe. I heard about this idea by my friend, Anhad Singh, who lives in my building and thought I should also join and do my bit for society."
