India's Toy Bank

The only banks we are perhaps familiar with are the ones where we deposit some money and withdraw it again with some interest. But here is a new kind of bank. "The Toy Bank".  

The Toy Bank, a philanthropic effort, as the name suggests houses toys. Toys, which are old and discarded. The Toy Bank collects these toys from you, restores them and then issues them to children, much like books in a library against a membership card. In short, the mission statement of The Toy Bank "Recycling toys - recycling smiles!" sums up its scope of activities and objective to recycle toys and in turn, bring smiles to the faces of children who otherwise would never have toys to play with. 

You can read more about the Toy Bank at http://toybank.in/html/home.htm

If your child's toys are no longer in use and you wish to donate them for this worthy cause you may do so at any of the collection centres listed at http://toybank.in/html/collection.htm.
The head office is at
74 Babar Road,
Bengali Market,
Delhi - 110001
(Ph: 011-23722020/23722626).

Your contributions will be duly acknowledged with a certificate from the Toy Bank.
