such a simple concept, such an essential element in a child's life, and such dedication by these young people trying to make a difference in the world they share with the less privileged!! Hats off to the Toy Bank team and let they multiply and reach out to the nooks and corners of rural India and bring smiles to the children's faces

The magnitude of a buse and the rare gesture and attempt to re-scoop the young innocent kids from an un acceptable sea of abuse and depriviation is a drop of honey in a sea! -
