This charitable activity is an extension of the foundation’s established mission. Founded in 2023, the organization focuses on supporting underprivileged communities, fostering youth talent in sports, and creating professional pathways for aspiring athletes. According to the foundation, their efforts have directly impacted over 57 athletes and provided support to more than 170 beneficiaries through initiatives ranging from blood donation drives to educational assistance.

Samson’s personal involvement comes shortly after concluding his stint with the national team for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand.

During the series, he scored a total of 107 runs. His performance was highlighted by an explosive 67 off 33 balls in the opening match, followed by scores of 14, 18, four, and four in the subsequent games. The series ended in a 3-2 victory for New Zealand, who secured the final two matches after India took the lead in the first three. He managed just 14, 18, four and four in the remaining games.

As the Indian team continues its tour in New Zealand for the 50-over format, Samson has returned home, having not been included in the ODI squad. The video provided fans with a rare look at the cricketer’s life away from the professional circuit, emphasizing his commitment to community service during the holiday period.
