Meet the Three Bunny Sisters

Raveena, Diya, and Amisha Duggal are three special, young sisters who have had a desire to help others since they were very young. They enjoy helping others and their message is that you can make a difference in the world at any age!

Raveena, 15 years old, continues her charity work, despite being busy with high school academics and activities. Diya is 12 years old and 8 year old, Amisha, are also working hard on new charity events and projects. Raveena was 9 years old, Diya was 6 years old, and Amisha was 5 years old, when they first started their charity work. They have done charity work for the Women’s Interval Home, the Cancer Society, and Plan International, to name a few organizations! The girls have also worked with the charity group “Bare Necessities Little Lunches”. This group provides non-perishable lunches for children. They are a not-for-profit organization working with and receiving support from Children’s Aid Society and local school officials. They have donated non-perishable food, coloring books, and stickers to this organization. Raveena has also directed a commercial for the organization and “Bare Necessities Little Lunches” has featured the girls on their Instagram and Facebook pages. Raveena, Diya, and Amisha have also donated handmade all-natural bath bombs, chapsticks, specialty soaps, and scrunchies to the Better At Home program, a United Way support program for seniors. They also worked with Letters & Love, an award-winning non-profit organization that sends handmade letters to healthcare workers around the world. Amisha has also recently organized an event with friends to host a charity garage sale in June 2022, and donated $4200 to the Inn of the Good Shepherd, a homeless shelter in Sarnia, Ontario. In July 2022, the three girls took their charity events across the border and donated over $2000 of toys and books that they purchased to the Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando, Florida. In 2021, Raveena and Diya Duggal were both awarded the Governor General’s Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers for their ongoing contributions. Raveena and Diya are also recipients of the UK 2019 Princess Diana Award, which honours “young people who work to improve the lives of others” and also won the 2018 Mayor’s Award, as well as be-

ing honoured by local Canadian politicians.

Raveena also has articles published in both the Refusion magazine and Uproar Literary Blog. Raveena’s interest in environmental awareness led her to write the article “Electrification with Tesla” which was published in Refusion magazine. Raveena also wrote about life during the pandemic and returning to school openings in her poems featured in the Uproar Literary Blog created by The Lawrence House Centre for the Arts. Raveena has also written for the “Front Page Initiative”, an online student newspaper. Through her work for the “Front Page Initiative”, Raveena has raised awareness about child labour, workplace discrimination, and space travel. Raveena and Diya are both currently writing for Daily Kid, an online magazine owned by the sister companies Daily Mom and Daily Mom Military.

In addition, Raveena, Diya, and Amisha Duggal also wrote a children’s book titled “Three Bunny Sisters”. The book is about three bunnies who are sisters who learn about the importance of helping others and giving back to those in need. The three bunnies then work together to host a charity bake sale to get carrots for bunnies who are less fortunate. The book features a cute theme song/jingle that repeats throughout the story to motivate the sisters as they work hard together to make cupcakes for the bake sale. The story mirrors the three girls’ own experiences with volunteer work and how they learned about hard work, helping others, and working together as a team. The “Three Bunny Sisters” children’s book has won a Mom’s Choice Gold Award and the Canada Book Award. The girls’ book also won first place in the 2021 Purple Dragonfly Award in the category of “Charity/Making a Difference”. The girls donated copies of their book to the local Canadian Women’s Interval Home and also to the Nemours Children’s hospital.

In August 2022, Raveena won the grand prize in a photography contest hosted by the Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery. Her work is currently on display at the art gallery. On August 25, 2022, all three girls were

honoured to receive the Queen

Jubilee Platinum Pin for their volunteerism. This prestigious pin was given by MP

Marilyn Gladu.

Raveena, Diya, and Amisha are currently working together on their second chil dren’s book, which will be a sequel to the original

“Three Bunny Sisters”. They are incorporating a similar theme and lesson about the importance of helping others, regardless of one’s age! The girls have a website chronicling their journey and their literary work at www.threebunnysisters.com/. They also have an Instagram account @threebunnysisters. Let them inspire you to volunteer!
