In order to accomplish our goals, our objective is to spread the word about this campaign all over India and expand to even more places, and have more people contribute to our cause in order to have an even larger impact and donate more toys to children.<\/p>\n<h3>4. How are you planning to make Gift A Smile different from other NGOs out there?<\/h3>\n<p>Gift a Smile is unique in its approach when compared to other NGOs, because it utilizes an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giftsmiles.co.in\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">integrated website<\/a>, in order to make the link between the donor and the children on the streets achievable. Anyone can donate toys from the luxury of their home simply by filling in a short application on the website, and from there, our smile scouts will pack and deliver these toys.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_363481\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-363481\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"363481\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/gift-a-smile-ss-interview\/22552504_855879694571447_9014526761486575033_n\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11124854\/22552504_855879694571447_9014526761486575033_n.jpg?fit=640%2C852&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,852\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"22552504_855879694571447_9014526761486575033_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11124854\/22552504_855879694571447_9014526761486575033_n.jpg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11124854\/22552504_855879694571447_9014526761486575033_n.jpg?fit=640%2C852&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-363481 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11124854\/22552504_855879694571447_9014526761486575033_n.jpg?resize=640%2C852&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"gift- a-smile-ss-interview\" width=\"640\" height=\"852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11124854\/22552504_855879694571447_9014526761486575033_n.jpg?resize=640%2C852&#038;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11124854\/22552504_855879694571447_9014526761486575033_n.jpg?resize=640%2C852&#038;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-363481\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TAKE OUT TIME TO GIVE BACK TO THE SOCIETY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"entry-title h1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/foodie-aruna-food-blogger-zomato-ss-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Also Read &#8220;Is Food Your Bae Too ?
