About the Program

Udaan Youth Club is observing the International Day of Action for Rivers on the theme β€œWater for All” by organizing a global letter-writing campaign #LetterToRiver. SR Aman Kumar inaugurated the #LetterToRiver Global Letter Writing Campaign on 13th February 2024. Rivers play an important role in nurturing and sustaining life in our surroundings but we often forget to take a pause and say thank you.

#LetterToRiver is a global letter-writing campaign that aims to engage people from every corner of the world. In this campaign, participants will be needed to search for their local river, collect facts about that river, capture one photo, write a letter in their words, and submit it all to us. We will design a beautiful poster with your name, letter, river photo, and location and share that on our social media and website. With this campaign, we aim to invite submissions every year and document 1 million #LetterToRiver by 2030, contributing to achieving the sustainable development goals.

We cordially invite all keynote speakers, authors, philosophers, travellers, artists, musicians, poets, activists, entrepreneurs, NGO heads, lawyers, journalists, and all advocates of nature and sustainability to join the #LetterToRiver campaign and write a letter for a sustainable future and express your open gratitude for rivers who have contributed to nurturing life on the blue dot, the earth, our only home.
