Kolkata’s ‘Legacy on Wheels’: Vintage Cars Drive for a Cause

In a unique blend of heritage and social responsibility, Kolkata witnessed a remarkable event as vintage cars gracefully rolled through its streets for a noble cause. Organized by the NGO OFFER, the ‘Legacy on Wheels’ vintage car drive was more than just a spectacle; it was a powerful statement of support for children and adolescents affected by HIV. The event, held in anticipation of the opening of OFFER’s new 100-bedded hospital, aimed to raise crucial awareness and rally community support for this vulnerable group.

The rally was a sight to behold, with 34 elegant vintage cars and four classic bikes forming a convoy of compassion. Each vehicle, a piece of history, symbolized the enduring legacy of care and the timeless importance of community. The journey of these classic automobiles through the city streets mirrored the long and often challenging journey of the children OFFER serves. The event beautifully connected the city’s rich automotive heritage with the NGO’s forward-looking mission to provide long-term, comprehensive care and a brighter future for these children.

‘Legacy on Wheels’ was a resounding success, not only in capturing the attention of the city but also in igniting conversations around a critical health issue. As OFFER prepares to open its new hospital, this event has laid a strong foundation of community engagement and support. It stands as a testament to the power of creative initiatives in driving social change, reminding us that every act of kindness, big or small, contributes to a legacy of hope and healing for those in need. The purr of the vintage engines has faded, but the message of love and support for HIV-affected children echoes louder than ever.
