The greatest poem ever known
is one all poets have outgrown:
The poetry, innate, untold,
of being only four years old.
~Christopher Morley, To a Child
Childhood is that
enchanted phase of one’s life where the colors are brighter, the air softer
and the morning more fragrant than ever again. It deserves to be treasured,
cherished and celebrated.
In an attempt to
do the same, Team ANTAR with its volunteers visited the DMRC Shelter Home near
Tis Hazari Metro station on 5th January 2014. This event, Ashayein
is organised every year by the college’s CSR committee with a vision to create awareness
on education among under-privileged children and to motivate them to go for
schooling.
“This event has lent an amazing start to the new year, it was like
reliving your own childhood...” – said one of the volunteers after coming back
from the shelter home.
All a child really needs is someone to play with
all day and their day was made memorable when students of FSM engaged
themselves wholeheartedly with kids in face painting, paper dance and playing
with balloons. As the children painted the canvas with colours, it looked like
they were putting their innocence and creativity on paper. The children did
really well in the quiz and exhibited amazing sportsmanship in the cricket
match.
Cute little stories and experiences were shared over
lunch and the students realized that the kids had a lot of potential and hidden
talent which just needed an opportunity to be unleashed. In the end, the
students encouraged the kids to make the best of their lives with hard work and
determination as destiny is not made by chance, but by choice.
