enhancing quality of life for all humankind,” stated Mr. Amit Singh,
Executive Director of Sikhcess. “The outpouring of excitement we’ve had
for this campaign is overwhelming, however, as those in shelters and on
the streets struggle through the most frigid months of the year, we
must provide them with real aid; we must mobilize all the support and
donations we can gather in order to help them cope,” Mr. Singh
continued. “I urge anyone who is able to assist us with the ‘Bundles of
Warmth’ campaign to contact us at [email protected], and we will
ensure that your donated winter clothing items are delivered directly
into the hands of those who need them most.”

people across Australia.
Sikhcess is best known for its ‘Feed The
Homeless’ campaign, which spread across North America with
extraordinary coverage within a very small amount of time, and has now
expanded globally. The organization’s next campaign is set to take
place on June 14, 2008 with volunteers ready to distribute individual
food packages in four continents across the world, including Australia,
North America, Europe, and Asia.
Working to help address homeless hunger,
Sikhcess has taken ‘Langar’ (or ‘Free Community Kitchen’) to those on
the streets, on a global level. Volunteers throughout the world
distribute freshly prepared individual food packages to the homeless
and needy.
The Sikh institution of ‘Langar’ was
started by the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak. It is the only free
kitchen of its kind in the world, collectively serving millions around
the globe each year, regardless of gender, social standing, caste,
color, religious affiliation, or beliefs. Through this ideal of
equality, the tradition of Langar expresses the ethics of sharing,
community, inclusiveness, and oneness of all humankind.
