Today we will learn about - "Community Connections - Supporting Local Vendors for a Stronger Tomorrow"
📌 Street vendors are the backbone of our local economies. They put in immense effort to provide us with affordable and unique goods
📌 By choosing to support them, we empower these small businesses and help create a more inclusive and sustainable economic environment
▶️ This year, I envisioned a DIWALI celebration that would not only light up my home but also touch the lives of those around me
👉 Yesterday, I took half a day off to go street shopping. I bought handcrafted clay lamps. The texture of the clay, the earthy scent - it all felt so genuine ❤️
👉 Then, I purchased two sarees from a local shop. The shopkeeper graciously offered me a cup of tea and narrated the fascinating history behind the creation of these sarees
📌 He explained the origins of the zari, the source of the fabric, the intricate process involved, down to the details of packaging
📌 He even candidly shared insights into the gross margin %, foot traffic in his shop, customer attraction strategies, & the challenges he faces
▶️ It was truly enlightening to gain such a wealth of knowledge simply by choosing to support a local vendor
👉 Then I bought colors from street shops, created a grand rangoli at my doorstep
🎯 This Diwali, let us collectively commit to dedicating a portion of our earnings towards philanthropic endeavors
👉 This may involve visiting a nearby old-age home or orphanage and supporting local artisans, including those who sell lamps, colors, sweets, paintings, and firecrackers
📌 This DIWALI, let's go beyond the ordinary and choose to be 'Vocal for Local'
▶️ Your purchase directly impacts the lives of these vendors and their families, allowing them to have a brighter and more prosperous Diwali
I have taken a day off today and I'm looking forward to indulging myself with some more local shopping
"Watch this incredible video to see how I decorated my home with items bought from street shopping. 🏡✨"
Nation aise hi build hota hai
