5. Greet for Cause: The big Idea
 Greet for a Cause is an initiative born out of the small
and short visit to Tharparkar by myself with some
friends in Dec 2014. Here I noticed that neonatal
causality rate is high in Mithi Taluka due to lack of high
fiber diet, resources and limited access to
transportation.
 An idea clicked in, to sell greeting cards for the fund
raising, which will help in feeding 10 families for next 3
months and so on based on their monthly performance.
