FOR THE ELDERLY, EVERY MEAL FROM Art Of Helping Foundation Is A Taste Of Love

I believe that when you help others you always get so many things in return, it may not be monetary or materialistic but it is far more valuable.

While we are busy struggling in our own lives, some people choose to dedicate their lives to making a positive difference in the lives of others. Deepankar Patil, the Founder of Art of Helping Foundation is one such inspiring person who quit his job as a graphic designer to help senior citizens by providing free tiffin service to them. In a candid conversation with Deepankar, we understood the motivation behind incepting the NGO, the challenges he faced and the difference it is making in the lives of many.

What made you incept the 'Art of Helping Foundation'? What motivated you to leave your career as a graphic designer and dedicate your life to helping senior citizens?

From the tender age of 17-18, I used to help random elderly people with meals, cookies, tea, and groceries whenever I could. I always loved helping people and making others happy. No other happiness was even close to the happiness I got from being able to help someone in their time of need. Their blessings made me feel positive about life and gave my life a purpose.
