Robinhood Army (RHA) planned a fun-filled picnic for their cluster children! They took them to visit to our Hanging Garden, where they discovered lovely flowers, sighted birds, and performed Garba to add their own touch! After this they went to the viewing Gallery for a breathtaking glimpse of the Queen’s Necklace at Kamla Nehru Park, then the famed Old Woman’s Shoe and the children’s play area. From swings to merry-go-rounds, slides, and monkey bars, kids made the most of every moment. They were given water and delicious food to keep them energized. A day filled with laughter and wonderful memories! This month their town chapter started their academic sessions and quiz.
Another important and significant act carried out by Robinhoods this month was the delivery of a record 11,000 Vada-Pavs in a single order. The ‘Singham Again’ film team, including Ajay Devgan, Rohit Shetty, and others, supported and financed this effort. They set a new Guinness World Record by delivering the largest vada pav order in a single delivery through Swiggy. The Vada Pavs were also distributed across our neighborhood cluster at six different locations. (By Dinesh Dhawan.)

In the month of June 2024. Robin Hood Army (RHA) held a exceptional drawing class for the children from the slums. They gave these children pictures of Krishna and asked them to draw them with colours. Children did exceptional drawings. After colouring they were divided into 3 groups and told them a story followed by Q&A for character building. This was followed by cake cutting and food distribution. RHA thanks the sponsors.

The Robin Hood Army is a zero-funds volunteer organization that works to get surplus food from restaurants and communities to serve the less fortunate. Their “Robins” are largely students and young working professionals – everyone does this in their free time. The lesser fortunate sections of society they serve include homeless families, orphanages, patients from public hospitals and old age homes.
