Children Day
Children’s Day Out !!!
How many times we would have wished for a time machine in life so that we can travel back to our school days.
It was Children’s Day celebration in Government Primary and High School – Yeshwantpur, led by the volunteers and CRY, Bangalore. Students were so excited about the celebration. Their excitement spread joy to everyone.
Students gathered to start of the Community Walk with placards with messages on the rights of every child- education, survival and equal opportunities. The students were excited to start off for the Community Walk to create awareness in the community on the importance of happy and a healthy childhood.
Led by the sonorous school band that attracted the attention of the passersby, the community walk had students and volunteers walking for a cause.
“It’s good work by children, indulging in creating awareness and raising a voice for their rights”, said one of the onlookers.
Cause partner, Howard Johnson sponsored the refreshments for the children. When asked about how it feels to be working for a cause, Mahindra Ravit of Howard Johnson said,
“We feel very happy doing this. The kids seem happier than we are. We don’t know if it’s we who support them or them who support us.”
The event was inaugurated by Dr. Kripa Alva, Chairperson of KSCPCR in the presence of MLA- Dr. C.N. Ashwath Narayan. The event was initiated by watering the plants, rather than the clichéd way of lighting the torch, followed by the speakers addressing the children and teachers.
Students put up a great show in the cultural performances, The volunteers also made the students happier with their miming act which marked the end of the event.
