1. Find an empty jar and decorate it creatively with your family. 2. Gather spare coins from around the house and count them together. 3. Decide how much you want to save for charity — is it ₹50, ₹100, or more? 4. Set a timeline: will you fill it in one week or one month? 5. Every time you find loose change, add it to the jar and count the total. 6. At the end, choose a charity together and donate the amount collected!
