RICE BUCKET CHALLENGE ” REAL CHALLENGE “

 

 

 

Move over Ice Bucket Challenge. There’s a newer and desi-er challenge to take up now.

 

Inspired by the global charity chain to spread awareness about the disease ALS, Hyderabad-based Manju Latha Kalanidhi has come up with an ingenious way to help those in need with the Rice Bucket Challenge and Jorhat (Assam ) based Jitender Bhandari and Rohit Dugar started in their town on 27/08/2014

 

In this challenge, all one needs to do is to cook or buy a bucket of rice and feed someone who needs it. It’s that simple. Just like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, one should use the hashtag – #RiceBucketChallenge and ask their friends to pay it forward.

 

It was Manju Latha Kalanidhi’s post on Facebook that started off this challenge. 

 

This Indian twist has created quite a stir online and participants are already posting their pictures to spread this new message.
