In her sweet lit­tle way, this stu­dent shares her un­der­stand­ing of Vand Chhakkna -shar­ing and giv­ing in the pre­sent times. 

What is Vand Chakana? Vand Chakana is one of the three main pil­lars of the teach­ing of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Vand Chakana means to share one’s wealth with oth­ers in the com­mu­nity, to give in char­ity, dis­trib­ute lan­gar, help oth­ers.

A Sikh is ex­pected to do­nate and share at least ten per­cent of one’s av­er­age in­come which is known as Das­vandh.

Shar­ing in this way makes peo­ple be­lieve that what one earns is by the will of God or Hukam. So, when one makes more money than he or she needs, then this should be shared with the com­mu­nity es­pe­cially with the needy.

“Here at the Gur­mat School In Jakarta, every year dur­ing Gur­purab of Guru Nanak Dev ji we con­duct our “Vand Chakna Pro­gram.” It is an ef­fort from the school to give stu­dents a chance to learn more about shar­ing as one of the main teach­ings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. By shar­ing you not only make your­self feel bet­ter, but also makes oth­ers feel bet­ter.”

Our Vand Chakkna is a great way to give back to our com­mu­nity. This pro­gram in­cludes vis­it­ing or­phan­ages, books dis­tri­b­u­tion dri­ves, vis­it­ing dis­abled chil­dren and spend­ing time with them. Our stu­dents learn to be grate­ful to Wa­he­guru who has given them a good life with good health and lov­ing par­ents that many of the chil­dren they vis­ited dur­ing these pro­grams do not have.

We want our stu­dents to know that any con­tri­bu­tion, even if it’s a small one, can help peo­ple and put smiles on their faces. We want our stu­dents to grow up to be car­ing in­di­vid­u­als and re­spon­si­ble Sikhs.
