On the 7-8Feb. 2009, NDTV hosted the first ever 24hour live telethon in India. The focus of this telethon was environment and the goal was to raise money for solar powered lamps that TERI distributes to villages that have no electricity. Because the theme was green, the event was called the GREENATHON.
Environmental events took place in Chennai, Chandigarh, Mumbai and Delhi throughout the 24hour period and NDTV covered it all live.
In Delhi, Swechha (www.swfc.org.in) organized the event- a 24hour Yamuna river clean-up, complete with live music performing on a floating
stage!
Two-thousand people came and helped pull 12 truckloads of garbage from the river...and our Jamghat boys were right in there helping to send out the message that
we want clean water in Delhi's lifeline, Yamuna!
We are very happy that the event was such a success and that Jamghat got to help make history in India, by partaking in the first ever Greenathon!
Save Yamuna...Care for your planet...
keep your recyclables separate from medicianl waste and food to help keep the kabari wala safe...enjoy green plants in your home...
don't toss wrappers from any windows....keep India beautiful!

March 3rd has been declared Happy Day across the world by G4S president Mr. Hudson! The goal is to bring fun and games to children who do not have the privilege to have such fun, as they are often required to take on the burdens of work and household chores from childhood onwards. In Delhi, G4S organized a day long event of games, rides, music, dancing, treats, and delicious food for 500 children, on the grounds of hte British High Commission.
44 children from Jamghat/Max India Outdoor Program attended and had an absolute blast! Copious amounts of chocolate and ice-cream were consumed, every child danced their heart out and sang to the songs performed by G4S staff. 
It was lots of fun for everyone and we thank G4S for inviting Jamghat to the event!
