Sai Ram,

‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’

In the Vedic tradition, the Sanskrit expression ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ is mentioned, which means: The world is one family. This not only refers to people but also encompasses all living beings on Earth. Since its establishment in the year 2003, the Shri Satyam Sai World Foundation has recognized and embraced this universal truth. All the activities we organize are based on this core value.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Shri Satyam Sai World Foundation! For 20 years now, we have been organizing spiritual and humanitarian activities for the well-being of everyone, regardless of religion, race, or belief. With gratitude in our hearts, we look back on 20 beautiful and blessed years during which the foundation, along with all the volunteers, has had the opportunity to perform seva (selfless service) for the world.

We are approaching the holiday season, with Christmas just around the corner. During the holidays, we often think of warmth, good food, and celebrations with family and friends. However, for many people living in poverty, these things are far from guaranteed.

To assist the poor and vulnerable during the holidays, the Shri Satyam Sai World Foundation is launching a humanitarian initiative in Suriname. As you may be aware, the economic situation in the country is not favorable, with widespread poverty and many struggling to afford basic necessities. We will be distributing Christmas packages to nursing homes, orphanages, and to impoverished and needy individuals so that they too can enjoy the festive season.

These Christmas packages, valued at €54 each, will include:

  • Rice
  • Flour
  • Yellow peas
  • Brown beans
  • Sunflower oil
  • Broodbeleg
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Food locally such as onions, garlic, potatoes, bananas, cassava, and vegetables
  • Pain relievers like paracetamol
  • Personal care items such as soap, toothpaste, diapers (for the elderly and disabled)
  • A Christmas gift for children
  • Something sweet

We would appreciate it if you could share this message; together, we can help as many people as possible.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact the Shri Satyam Sai World Foundation.
