Every few moments, she would look up at the fan, and wipe the sweat off her forehead as she tried to focus on her lesson. The old fan too, seemed to try it&#8217;s best to elevate the students&#8217; discomfort, but looked sympathetically mournful in its inability to offer relief.<\/p>\n<p>There was the sound of some hustle and bustle as electricians entered the room, and the teacher allowed them to replace the old fans with new ones. As the switch was flipped, a cool breeze spread across the room. Simran closed her eyes, feeling the comfort settle over her. The sweat, the exhaustion, the frustration\u2014all faded away in that instant.<\/p>\n<p>The teacher informed that, somewhere, a kind-hearted donor had made this possible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hearts_of_Gratitude\"><\/span>Hearts of Gratitude<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Simran silently thanked the donor in her heart, who had replaced suffering with ease, her struggle with focus, and discomfort with the joy of learning. She knew, many of her classmates would have felt the same, and were expressing gratitude in their hearts.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Prayer_of_Thankfulness_and_Blessings_%E2%80%93_The_%E2%80%98Ardaas\"><\/span>A Prayer of Thankfulness and Blessings &#8211; The &#8216;Ardaas&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As the class ended, the teacher gathered the happy students for a moment of gratitude. Standing together with folded hands, they offered an Ardas, the traditional Sikh prayer, to express their heartfelt thanks. In their prayer, they thanked the Almighty, remembered the benevolence of the donors and sought blessings for their benefactor.<\/p>\n<p>The Ardas is a simple practice of faith and gratitude followed in the Akal Academies. This collective act of devotion not only fosters a sense of community but also deepens the students&#8217; appreciation for the support they receive, reinforcing the values of gratitude and humility in their hearts. There is also the belief that such heartfelt wishes of blessings of the Lord does reach the benefactors too.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bring_in_the_winds_of_change_Be_the_Breeze\"><\/span>Bring in the winds of change,\u00a0 Be the Breeze !<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are schools which require fans for the summer right now, In fact <strong>2600 fans<\/strong> across many academies.<br \/>\nFor just <strong>\u20b92,100 per fan,<\/strong> you can change that.<br \/>\nYour donation will bring comfort, improve learning, and help a child chase their dreams without distraction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donate Now \u2013<\/strong> Give the gift of a cool, comfortable classroom<br \/>\n<strong>Be the Difference \u2013<\/strong> Ensure no child\u2019s education suffers due to heat<br \/>\n<strong>Act Today \u2013<\/strong> Every contribution counts!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/csrforchange.com\/csr\/csr-request\/donate-fans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6073 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.barusahib.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/donate-300x112.jpg\" alt=\"donate\" width=\"211\" height=\"79\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barusahib.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/donate-300x112.jpg 300w, https:\/\/barusahib.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/donate-370x139.jpg 370w, https:\/\/barusahib.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/donate-270x101.jpg 270w, https:\/\/barusahib.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/donate.jpg 483w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Click to Contribute &gt;&gt;\u00a0<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/csrforchange.com\/csr\/csr-request\/donate-fans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Be the Breeze of Hope!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcde <strong>Contact us at<\/strong> +91-9403890013 or info@csrforchange.com<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf10 Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/csrforchange.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">www.CSRforChange.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/barusahib.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\">www.BaruSahib.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little Simran In the heart of rural Punjab, in an Akal Academy classroom, little Simran sat with her book open, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.
