SATTVA - Realising Equilibrium in Social Change

I am a staunch believer that every human being irrespective of the profession - IT, law, fashion, operations, finance, marketing, medicine, arts, engineering, services has a soft social corner deep down his/her heart.

There always exists a spark within us to contribute for the under privileged and extend a helping hand to bring more light into their lives.

Seldom do we actually go forward and really satiate this spark burning inside us. There could be several reasons –

Roadblock 1: Deadlines/busy at work

Roadblock 2: Family responsibilities

Roadblock 3: Social commitments

Roadblock 4: Not being aware of social activities around us to join and contribute :(

The first three can be handled effectively by oneself. But we at Sattva aim to remove the 4^th roadblock – by bringing transparency and awareness of the social activities around Bangalore.

Motivation:

1. One could be interested in working for child education. Another would like to help the disabled. Third likes to spend time with the mentally retarded. How do I find the correct organization which work in each of these areas?
2. One has time to donate money. Second can spend a couple of hours. Third is ready to work full time for an NGO. Where do I find a group which can fit my schedules?

Sattva is a monthly e-magazine with the vision to be an effective platform for the sharing of news, views and appreciation of the social change process, thus raising awareness and encouraging individuals and organizations to meaningfully contribute to society.

Our objective is to provide a scaffold to NGOs, activists, volunteers and concerned citizens to work or start work towards the social sector.

Bangalore is fully alive, there is so much going on, so many new initiatives, activities, awareness programmes, workshops, volunteer groups and social movements!

We seek to cull out the spirit of all this while stressing that all this must come together to find the essential balance. Hence- "Sattva-Realising Equilibrium in Social Change."

Every month one issue/topic such as Third Sex, Windows, Child Adoption, Disabled, Education, Secularism etc related to Bangalore will be dealt with in our e-magazine. We will also bring to you the lesser known people, organizations and events that make the bigger difference.
