On the occasion of Deepawali, SPARK organized a special programme for the underprivileged children with the prime objective to brighten the lives of these less privileged children by making them enjoy the festival and experience it as they hardly get an opportunity to witness such occasion as they have to work to support their families and in the process, their precious childhood is lost.
As Deepawali signifies the festival of lights so through this little initiative, we intended to bring light into the lives of these children and provide them a platform where they can enjoy to the fullest and forget all the burdens on their tender shoulders.
Diwali also signifies the end of Evil and Rise of Goodness. SPARK hopes that this Diwali ends all the evil and brings goodness and positivity in the lives of all especially these underprivileged and distressed children.
Also, Children’s Day was observed where children were empowered and sensitized about child rights thereby building up their capacity to protect themselves from any kind of abuse especially at this time of crisis due to COVID 19. SPARK distributed Soap and Mask to all the children being provided by the Indian Red Cross Society.
The MakeSomeoneSmile Team too came together & had the real blast with the children who thronged to the celebration like never before & hence changed this event into a real festival.
During the celebration, lamps were lit by the children with a strong belief that its light will bring brightness in the life of every child. Children recited a prayer asking for God’s blessing and support.
Thereafter, Ms. Shima Modak, Founder & President of SPARK acquainted the children about the essence of Diwali and the purpose of celebrating the same altogether without any kind of discrimination or individual differences.
Also the essence of protecting the environment was explained to the children thereby motivating to celebrate Diwali in an Eco-Friendly way.
Other attractions of the programme were some games, dance performance and other recreational activities. The children also made colourful rangoli. It was totally an ECO-FRIENDLY Diwali celebrated by these children.
Altogether more than 200 children participated in the programme at Bara Bazaar Slum and Rangmen Centres of SPARK.The programme was indeed a successful one because it brought real happiness among these children which is indeed a great achievement for us.
We further make an appeal to all to come forward to KINDLY help and support SPARK in whatever capacity in organizing such special programmes for these underprivileged and deprived children.
WE WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY SAFE AND ECO-FRIENDLY DEEPAWALI
