THIS IS A FALSE CHAIN MAIL, that you have been forwarding.
CHILDLINE India does not collect left over food after a party.
CHILDLINE 1098 is India’s Children’s phone emergency outreach service for distressed and deprived children in need of care and protection. We not only respond to emergency needs of children but also provide a platform of networking amongst organisations and provide linkages to support systems that facilitate the rehabilitation of children in need. This is a project supported by the Union Ministry of Women and Child Development and linking state Governments, NGOs, bilateral /multilateral agencies and corporate sector.
This circulating chain mail that says – ‘one should call up 1098 to pick up left over food after a party etc so that it is not wasted’, actually results in blocking and jamming the phone line which is there to provide emergency service to marginalised children. For the same reason we have a warning at the bottom of the homepage of our website,
