For the sake of people

To invite or summon (someone to do something, esp to take part in a contest) it is not only the meaning and definition  of `Challenge` but also gives great inspiration and awareness to one and all. Now we have seen various variety of challenges  for  the good. Definitely some more innovative challenges will ready to come infront of the people.
Ice Bucket Challenge
The original version involved jumping into cold water, then nominating another to do the same. Later, this became the  ice  bucket dump, and charitable donations were the result of refusing to participate. By late July 2014, however, the charity being  named  was the ALS Foundation. Inspired by Pete Frates, a friend who was diagnosed with ALS,a neurode generative disease, Griffin launched the ice bucket challenge to raise awareness and funds for the disease. Griffin tried to do more fundraising for ALS research. Then the challenge spread worldwide on Facebook to the following countries (in order of participation): Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Philippines, Puerto Rico and India.During that time frame, over 28 million people joined the challenge by posting, commenting or liking a challenge post, Facebook said. 
Rice Bucket Challenge
The Rice Bucket Challenge is a way to raise awareness of world hunger, feed those in the most need and have fun at the same time!  The Rice Bucket Challenge involves donating a bucket of rice to a poor person or family. It is inspired by the Ice Bucket Challenge which has raised lots of money for the ALS Foundation. The idea for the Rice Bucket Challenge is attributed to Manju Latha Kalanidhi, journalist based in Hyderabad, India. It started off as a Facebook page on August 23, 2014. The Challenge spread to other South Asian nations, including Nepal and Sri Lanka, Philippines. 
My tree challenge
Following the global success of Ice bucket challenge and Rice bucket challenge Kerala Megastar Mammootty has initiated a eco-conservation programme in the title 'My Tree Challenge'. Within a few weeks from its start, the movement has gained big momentum as thousands of people has enrolled themselves as members, by planting a tree. It was through the 'My tree hash tag' and through Mammootty's facebook page that these thousand people announced themselves as part of the project.
