Bedding and food is provided by volunteers from donations. Food is served by volunteers and provided by various hotels or sponsored by companies. Festivities - Often, building communities even when there is no crisis makes it easier to work together when there is one. Festivities to celebrate particular events are a good way to practice the togetherness of the community. Communities can organise a group which will organise social activities for the main festivals.
Volunteers can help put up lights, organize stalls, decorate etc.
During larger gatherings, volunteers can also help in crowd management, by providing timely information and first aid where needed. The opportunties in India, as in many other places, are endless and the need is great. We could even add to the problems we already know to exist, and identify new opportunites for volunteer work, unique to our neighbourhood. The trick is to keep things simple while we reach out. How we begin isn't very important, either.
