Amway distributors of Chennai – all who are volunteers of Amway Opportunity Foundation (AOF) – the registered non-profit organisation that looks after Amway’s corporate social responsibility (CSR), got together to raise funds for the city’s needy children. A musical night was held and well-known singers from ‘Sadhaga Paravaighal’, a renowned music troupe, enthralled the Amway volunteers.
Over 1,000 Amway distributors, their families and friends attended the show which took place at Kamarajar Arangam. “We believe we can work together to build a brighter future for children. At Amway, we always strive to bring in meaningful difference in the lives of less privileged children. We would be very happy if our little contribution helps in the progress of children,” said Siva Kumar, chief volunteer of AOF in Tamil Nadu, also Amway’s area manager in the state. He added that Amway employees and distributors were equal partners in Amway’s CSR efforts. The proceeds of the evening will be handed over to a city-based NGO soon.
 All those present greatly enjoyed the musical evening. AOF holds such events on a regular basis to sensitise Amway distributors about social issues such as the plight of underprivileged children. “This is the best way to help others realise that there are many in society not as lucky as we are, and raise funds for them at the same time,” added Siva Kumar. Money from this fund-raiser will go to Jeroham Home, a NGO working for children. AOF has associated with Jeroham Home for the past three years.
