Brightsun Travel India undertook a meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative at The Earth Saviours Foundation, a Gurugram-based NGO that provides essential care and shelter to abandoned senior citizens, mentally and physically challenged individuals, and the destitute from across India.

As part of the initiative, a dedicated team from Brightsun visited the Foundation’s shelter home to volunteer their time and interact with more than 500 residents. The company also sponsored a special lunch for all at the facility, creating a sense of togetherness and comfort through a shared meal. For many of the residents, who have endured abandonment or extreme hardships, the gesture offered not only nourishment but also a moment of dignity and celebration.

In addition, Brightsun Travel contributed vital equipment including a hospital bed and a wheelchair. These donations, though modest, are indispensable to the Foundation’s daily work and will directly support the quality of medical care and physical assistance provided to residents.

Speaking on the initiative, Sandeep Arora, Director, Brightsun Travel India, said, “This visit to The Earth Saviours Foundation was a deeply humbling experience for all of us. At Brightsun Travel, we remain committed to supporting communities in need and contributing in ways that make a positive difference to people’s lives. The dedication of the Foundation’s team and the resilience of its residents are an inspiration, and we are grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside them.”

Adding perspective from the residents, one individual shared his journey of recovery, “I suffered a brain haemorrhage and was abandoned by my family after multiple surgeries. The Earth Saviours Foundation gave me a home, care, and dignity. After six surgeries, I am now recovering and able to contribute by helping the Foundation with accounts and finances. The visit from Brightsun Travel reminded us that we are not forgotten and that our lives still hold purpose.”

The experience left a lasting impression on Brightsun staff, who were moved by stories like this. Listening to residents speak about recovery, resilience, and finding new ways to contribute motivated the team to take forward this spirit of engagement in their own lives. Many staff members expressed a renewed commitment to volunteer work and pledged to continue supporting community initiatives, both personally and through the company’s future CSR efforts.

Jas Kalra, President of The Earth Saviours Foundation, said: “Our mission is to provide shelter, dignity, and care to those who have been abandoned or marginalized. When companies like Brightsun Travel extend their support, it not only strengthens our ability to serve but also uplifts the spirits of our residents. Such initiatives show that compassion and social responsibility can truly change lives.”

Brightsun Travel India, a trusted name in the country’s travel sector and part of the global Brightsun network, has long believed in coupling business growth with social responsibility. Through initiatives like this, the company continues to reinforce its broader philosophy that corporate impact must extend beyond business to the communities it serves.
