Independence Day - Serve the Hungry

15^th Aug, 2017, 70^th Independence Day – We ride for passion, we ride for brotherhood; this Independence day, we rode for Humanity. Royal Enfield club Noida ought to plan a special ride as it was a special day. We generously volunteered our support to Robin Hood Army Noida to serve food and juices to less fortunate people of slum areas near Delhi.  Robin Hood Army is a volunteer based organization that work to get surplus food from restaurants and feed the less fortunate people across India and Pakistan. They organised campaign #Mission1Million – ‘The Largest War Against Hunger’ to serve food to 1 million needy across border. Royal Enfield Club Noida became the official Ride partner for this event in Noida and offered Juices and water bottles along with volunteer support. 

The city looked painted with Indian flag tri-color. Cars, bikes, autos, buildings were waving the national flag. We could hear the national patriotic songs from nearby residential areas. Everyone was celebrating the 70th Independence day. Entire scene was patriotic and giving the sense of pride. 41 Royal Enfield bikes decorated with Indian National flags rode thru the streets of Noida to reach a slum area Madanpur Khadar. Our riders volunteered their service to serve food, water and juices to the deprived people of society. Some of the volunteers were managing the people in queue so that food can be distributed easily. It took about an hour and we served food to almost every thin and lean in that area.

Many riders joined with their family and kids to this act of compassion. It was a pleasure to participate in a Charity event but we left that place with many unanswered question in our mind –We are still in the clutches of Poverty and Illiteracy. Are we really free after 7 decades of independence?

Give More, Give Better. Humanity Prevails!
