"When I consented to aid the cause of Khushii in Bombay, little
did I imagine that that it too would be an important part of my
journey of self discovery and learning! Looking back at the last
few months, I have learnt so much from my association with,
and work for Khushii – learning about giving, learning about
sharing, learning about being part of an ‘organism&rsquo larger
than my own personal goals and ambition. Khushii has been a
catalyst for this and more. I realise that to be part of making
India into the ‘superstar in the world’ scenario, one must stop
denigrating politicians and their policies and instead become
part of, if possible a motivator of, the growth and metamorphosis
of this country.Harveen, Aman, Garima, Vikas, Rajiv, Sapna,
Kadambari and the rest of the Khushii team are now my
extended family; as are the inmates of the old peoples homes
and the children for whom education is to be provided with the
funds generated by ‘India On Canvas’, who may be unknown to
me, but a large part of my life is dedicated to them. My grateful
thanks to Vandana and Harveen for inviting me into the Khushii
family, and most of all to my light, my husband KRS Jamwal who
has supported me through every adventure, and most of all
borne with me through working weekends and late nights, while
I arranged the artistic liaisons he called; the Khushii ‘marriages.'"

"I have seen the results of Khushii’s painterly philanthropy spill
over and blossom so well before my eyes. The fact that the
efforts of one NGO - and of those with a conscience in society
-can put up a tele-medicine facility which now benefits some 84
villages in Rajasthan shows the power of a joint action. In the
field of education, Khushii has taken on many issues; both for
child and adult education – and even for higher education. I
have witnessed their work in the villages particularly their tele
medicine project to assess its effects on the villagers and I am
happy to be associated with furthering this cause."

"Khushii represents the new spirit of modern India, whereby
those who are favourably placed in life and are in a position to
mobilize resources dedicate their efforts to help the poor.
Khushii has launched and is managing a range of projects that
provide education, healthcare, legal and financial know-how and
a range of other benefits for the poor in various parts of the
country. Khushii, therefore, represents a model that others in
positions of advantage could emulate for the benefit of society."

"My journey with Khushii started with my participation in the
highly successful ‘India on Canvas 2006’ auction in New Delhi
last November. To raise so much in one night was an
nprecedented feat and I was enchanted by the concept, the
implementation and the results. Subsequently throughout the
year I have been witness to the systematic growth of Khushii's
projects in just three years, which have reached out to those in
need in Delhi and the surrounding areas; from the
empowerment of women, to providing remedial education for
children in villages and offering healthcare facilities to the needy
in remote locations. The dedication and effort put in by the
Khushii team can indeed be an inspiration and a reminder of the
importance of 'giving back' to a society that has been more than
kind to people like you and me. When I was invited to join the
team as an Ambassador for Khushii's ‘INDIA ON CANVAS
2007’, I was truly honoured and accepted the privilege of joining
this without hesitation. Khushii is also giving all of us the
opportunity to remember our less fortunate brothers and sisters
and articipate in a movement that aims to bridge the gap
between the two Indias. Wishing you all a memorable evening."

"Thank you Khushii, for this opportunity to expand my
contribution to my community. I like the focus, sincerity and
energy of the Khushii team. The projects seem very well
conceptualized. As an active trustee in a couple of NGOs I value
the importance of a fund raiser. The best intended work and the
most inspired workers can only be propelled ahead with funds.
Being associated with ‘India on Canvas’ has been fun and
fulfilling and I wish them every success."

"I as an individual and Welspun as a group sincerely believe in
"Vision is the art of seeing the invisible."as stated by Jonathan
Swift. I have come on board as an ambassador of ‘Khushii’ as
their goals of helping the underprivileged by various means and
activities are common with mine. We as a group are striving to
build a better future for children. We continuously strive to better
the lives of over 18,000 of our employees and their families.
Khushii’ is a great platform to carry on these activities on a much
wider scale by identifying and bridging the gap between the
privileged and underprivileged through its various activities."

Tarana Sawhney

"I am proud to be associated with Khushii because their
philosophy for nurturing and emancipating the underprivileged is
embracing of all segments and this all-encompassing approach
has been their most unique asset. We work to uplift families
as a whole and not just individuals. Through India on
Canvas’07, we are encouraged to dream even bigger and better.
Do join us to help continue our efforts….."

Sangita Jindal

"The concept 'India on Canvas' connects with my own interests
and that of our group of companies. We have operations
in different states and our social development work represents
local culture and values. Khushii symbolizes happiness and the
canvas recognizes the importance of art. Social development
requires us to create opportunities. It is satisfying to be part of
this initiative."
