Celebrating International day of Service

30 odd numbers of children, in all shape, size and look  all around us, cheering up at the top of their voice following an oriya song. Once they are done with the singing session , a drawing competition and hand painting session was held where they learn to use their palm dipped in water colours and making their impression on the cardboard creating wonderful pictures like trees and peacocks.







On the International Day of Service on Friday, volunteers including corporate employees, professionals and college students decided to take out some time from their busy schedule and spread happiness among the unprivileged.   The event initiated by Bakul Foundation, a voluntary organisation in Bhubaneswar was observed in 25 cities across India.


I along with some of my friends had been to four Anganwadis and undertook few activities and was enthralled by the response of the children , some of them have just started perceiving what  a mango or tree is.

Here are few pictures of the joyous moments we had on the  day.










Really had a great time and looking forward to have some more such precious moments with my closest buddies and doing something meaningful.
