“Alfaaz

was an open mic fundraiser we organized for world suicide prevention day. Particpants showed off their singing and spoken poetry skills on the virtual stage. All fundings went to AASRA, which is a suicide prevention and counselling NGO. Suicide is an universal issue and needs to be addressed and awareness needs to be raised. It is important for everyone to know that mental health issues like depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia are very much real and they destroy people worldwide. To raise awareness about such a crucial issue is why we organized this open mic fundraiser, where everyone was free to express themselves through songs and spoken word poetry. We in total raised around 6000₹ for the event, which was donated to SPIF, suicide prevention organization.”
