Thank you, India, for making the 2011 edition of the Joy of Giving Week a huge success. While statistics will take some time to filter in, we know for sure that JGW2011 was much bigger and had much greater diversity than the previous 2 editions, showing clearly that it is catching up fast!

We continue to be amazed by the incredible "giving heart" shown by India's poorest, as they set the example for all of us yet again. At least 20 events involved people normally seen as "beneficiaries", reaching out and giving back.

Trying to compile a list of people to thank would be impossible! Over 50 JGW volunteers across India and 590+ event organisers and their teams have made this Week possible.

JGW2012 dates will be announced shortly. Keep watching!

All event organisers are requested to send their event updates to updates@joyofgivingweek.org, so that they can be collated together. As we did in 2010, we will publish a booklet with a sample of events across the country, so send updates with a max of 3 high resolution photographs.

Please don't send updates to any other id, as only updates@joyofgivingweek.org will be checked by our volunteers.
