The beauty of a city, lies in the beauty of its residents

It’s something we’ve all known. People are the ones who make the city worthwhile. The beauty of a city lies within the hands of its residents and all it takes to keep the city looking pleasing and clean is a little effort. And that’s exactly what OPPO did.

OPPO joined hands with 3 celebs & 3 NGOs to deliver a message of love, of beauty and how small thoughtful deeds can go a long way in changing the attitudes & behaviours of people.

So here’s how it began: Parineeti Chopra shared this video on social media a few days back

 

And so did Ayushmann Khurrana…

..along with Jacqueline Fernandez

They invited people to join them on Saturday, 24th September in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Gurgaon to beautify their own city!

 

This initiative “Beautiful City” was organized by OPPO in association with three NGOs, across 3 major cities in India.

With this campaign, the celebrities, NGOs and OPPO would like to reach out to the youth, educate them, and spread awareness about how important it is to keep one’s city beautiful and clean.

 

Ayushmann Khurrana painted a wall with the kids from VIDYA Integrated Development for Youth and Adults, in Gurgaon.

Ayushmann Khurrana said, “It feels great to be associated with a social awareness activity and giving my contribution to the betterment of the society. OPPO is doing a great job with this initiative.”

 

Parineeti Chopra paired up with the kids at Doorstep School and beautified a bus in Mumbai!

Parineeti Chopra said, “A beautiful city is the best possible gift for the residents of Mumbai and OPPO’s initiative will most definitely awaken and help people realise their responsibility of keeping their city clean.”

 

While Jacqueline Fernandez presented a cheque worth 2 Lakh on behalf of OPPO to the Parikrama Foundation in Bangalore, while painting a wall!

Jacqueline shared her thoughts on the same, “It feels great to be doing my bit for the city. Amongst all the chaos in our lives, doing something to make the city beautiful gives me immense calm and peace! Thank you OPPO for the great opportunity!”

 

Not only did OPPO organize this event, but they also donated 2 lakh to each of the three NGOs.

They really went all out on their CSR initiative and gave the youth something to think about as well as a beautiful souvenir that would remind them how important it is to keep doing our bit every day to keep our cities beautiful.

A job well done. An effort worth applauding. 🙂
