As you are aware, M.W.the Grand Master
has launched a new Charitable Project called DHANYA
DHAN. The project envisages food grains to pe collected
everyday by brethren, pooled together and distributed
to needy individuals or organizations.
The principle of the project is that,
as Freemasons, we should first think of the hungry and
the needy before we ourselves eat every day. This simple
project, envisages the involvement of the families of
the brethren also. Every brother will contribute a handful
. of rice, grain, wheat or whatever the family may decide,
which will be poured into a bag every morning. Periodically
a collection will be made either by individual Lodges
from its members or a group of Lodges in a particular
area or a city and such food grains collected will be
contributed to the poor and the hungry. It can be given
to any local Institution or even to the destitutes across
the road.
In order that all the brethren may
be aware of this scheme, Lodges are requested to make
a mention of this in their summons every month.
You may therefore have the following
matter or words to this. effect printed in your summons
every month :-
"JOIN THE DHANYA DHAN -
Contribute a handful of grains everyday to feed a
hungry mouth. Contact Lodge Secretary or the Worshipful
Master for further details. "
With greetings,
