World Population Day!

The bridges are jammed, trains are overspilling, roads clogged up! Its time to use a condom!

http://www.inkfruit.com/wpd.php

The 11th of July is the World Population Day, an initiative headed by United Nations Development Programme started in 1989.

India has the world's largest number of poor people in a single country. Of its 1 billion inhabitants, an estimated 260 million are below the poverty line.

We take this opportunity of ‘World Population Day’ to promote change in the Indian mindset, to make our society one where parents talk to their young ones about ‘the birds and the bees’ – a society where every couple knows and follows the basics of family planning.

In an attempt to promote the use of contraception, Inkfruit is giving one condom free with every online order between 9th July and 13th July.

Please do support this cause and try and revolutionize Indian society and try and control the population of our nation.

LETS BE THE DIFFERENCE!

Inkfruit supports the Gay community

Couple of days back, the Indian high court legalized gay sex among consenting adults, repelling article 377 of the Indian penal code. We at Inkfruit support this decision and are with the gay community for their right to live freely and their right to choose!

To show our solidarity we released a special tee, designed by our in-house designers... if you support the gay community show it with what you wear!

Something for the Kids...


A few days back, around children's day some of us at Inkfruit had gone and hung with some street kids. Teaching them. It could be called social service but we found it a very fulfilling and enjoyable activity.
For most people their interaction with these kids ends when they find their clean car glasses touched by filthy hands or hear the droning noise of a beggar kid asking repeatedly for food.

However you might be surprised actually interacting with these kids, teaching them, can make you see so many treasures they have within themselves like all other kids! It is sad to see these beautiful qualities go waste because of scarce opportunities.
So we decided to do our bit from Inkfruit. We had some 1,500 t-shirts printed for these kids with some really funky designs, and have contacted NGO's to whom we will be giving tees so they can distribute them to the kids they are taking care of.

One such NGO we have gone to and personally distributed tees to kids was Salaam Baalak Centre in Chowpatty. They have around 75 kids.... and it is a quaint little place where these kids are taught, given food etc..

We did not photograph the kids with tees and stuff cause the organization has the policy of respecting a kids right to privacy and not taking their photos which reveal their identity.

We will be giving more tees to other NGO's will keep you'll updated on that front.
