Then we entertained with those kids by performing musical events. Then kids performed a dance as a group which they have already prepared for that day. Their performance was marvelous and was appreciated by all of us.

Then they were led to the ground in front of the Civil Department for the fun events. They took part in games very enthusiastically and were happy in playing with us. After the play time, we brought them to the common area to have lunch. After having lunch they were again led back to the Civil Auditorium. Kids sang songs and danced with all of us. They enjoyed that moment and each of them eagerly came forward to sing and dance.

Finally, we gave gifts to all the kids and also donated two fans for that school. Incharge mistress of that school thanked us for making that day a special one for those innocent kids.
