“Who, being loved, is poor?”
-Oscar Wilde
And who wouldn’t love a bunch of doe-eyed kids when all they ask for is love and care. One may ask a group of young students from the LD College of Engineering, who came up with the innovative idea of organizing a program especially for the most deprived of the poor-the street kids.
The students have been teaching the children spelling, drawing, singing and dancing for over about a month at the premises of the Savera school, Blind Peoples’ Association for over about a month now and helped them prepare for the event which was held on the 4th of April to help the poor people living in the slum area on the new IIM road near Vastrapur. The students joined hands with the Vidya Bharati education trust for the event as a part of the ongoing kindness revolution ‘College Unstoppable’. The evening commenced at 7 o clock with special performances by the children presented in the form of a play which encouraged the people to send their children, sons and daughters alike, to Savera, the school which not only taught them but also inculcated many values, followed by a dance performed by the LDiites and then a much-needed session on sanitation and health-related issues for the parents and the children, held in a fun-filled way by Mr. Devendra, an activist at the Gandhi Ashram. The chief guest of the evening was Mr. Harish Trivedi who gave a heart-rending speech. The event ended with a fun dance session where the students and the kids swayed to the tunes together.
“It was a WOW event, great fun and the best part was that we were able to make the kids really happy and make their parents very proud of them”
-Jenil Kothari, College Ambassador, College Unstoppable, LD
“The spirit of the LD students was really ‘Unstoppable’!”
-Mr. Harish Trivedi, Vidya Bharati Education Trust.
“I really loved the way the performances were knitted in the skit. The way the kids performed shows that they have the potential to learn and achieve much more. The best part was towards the end when we were dancing with the kids. I could see them enjoying every bit of it. What made it special was that we as a team could bring about so many smiles and give the children a memorable day in their lives”
-Hitesh Ahuja, Volunteer, College Unstoppable, LD
“It is very sad to know that so many unfortunate children are deprived of basic necessities like food, shelter and education. But at the same time, I am relieved to know that there are dedicated individuals constantly working for their upliftment. Let’s join hands to give every child what he/she deserves”
