Introduction

Once again Toybank completes a successful journey of spreading fun and joy across the nation through their immense hard work, passion and dedication. This not only includes Ms. Shweta Chari, but also the supporters and volunteers involved behind the scenes for this successful year.
                                  Celebration of Toybank’s 10th Anniversary has marked its importance in the society and the people connected to Toybank.  Ms. Shweta Chari’s, not giving up attitude has made it reach on heights among this nation and is well known for its work in the society. This celebration has not only been a source of enjoyment but also sense of self-actualization for the young minds and a key of encouragement to aspire for their life as well as for the society’s better and successful future.

(After all, it is said; Youth is the future for a better tomorrow.)

We decided to go all out for Toybank's 10th Birthday celebration! Around 400+ friends, Volunteers and supporters of Toybank were present as a part of this grand event. It began with Atul Kasbekar & Purab Kohli giving away prizes to the winners of Toybank's annual photography contest- Click for A Cause. Right from an Art Installation that captured the ethos of our work, to a funky video booth where guests gave their bytes on their favourite toy from their childhood, to a super fun panel discussion anchored by Purab Kohli, followed by a witty speech by Shweta, a classic performance by Vikram (singing two songs by the Beatles), and with 30 kids singing to 'Lakdi ki Kaati', 'Oona Sasa' & 'Kalele' and grand closing note by Trustee Vivek Asrani. The event also saw the release of a fabulous 4 minute film on Toybank's work made by director Prateek Sharma.
