Meraki, the annual cultural fest of the NMIMS School of Law, kick-started with a series of virtual workshops. People of various backgrounds irrespective of age had participated in the workshops.
This year, Meraki collaborated with Mohit Chauhan’s Animals Are People to Trust, which feeds stray animals. As part of the collaboration, Meraki conducted a series of workshops, the proceeds of which have been donated to the Animals Are People Too Trust.
The trust laid down its foundation during the lockdown in 2020, when Mohit Chauhan along with his family found a few dogs locked inside the forest. The dogs had no access to food or water. Mohit Chauhan and his family started feeding these dogs and within a year, more than 150 dogs are being fed and looked after. The Animals Are People Too team has also been awarded by the Commissioner of Police Delhi in March 2021.
The total amount Meraki collected through the workshops is a commendable sum of Rs. 52,260 and all of it will be donated to Animals Are People Too.
