Road safety competition in Chennai

Hi All,
Partnering with ArriveSafe, Dream India conducted a drawing competition for children in the Government school in Valasarawakkam, Chennai on the 1st of November. Though we did not get selected for the final round, the kids did extremely well and  managed to bring out the best of their knowledge by way of drawings. The volunteers used this opportunity to thrust the importance of good traffic culture, to the kids. The drawings can be seen below



Thanks

Children's Day Celebrations 2009 - Adyar, Chennai

Dear Friends,
On Nov 14th, we had a fun filled Children's day celebration at Adyar school.
The event started with explaining some facts about Nehru ji & his family tree. Students were asked to speak few sentences in English about Children's day. Then, both 8th & 9th students were combined & grouped into 3 teams.
The first event was 'Dumb Charades'. It was really entertaining when the students were trying to do some action about the personality. They were taught to break up the name of a person & then to explain. They really enjoyed it.
Next event was 'Man Hunt'. Students were explained about the rules of the game & personalities were given for each team in tandem. Though there was chaos in raising questions by the kids, towards the end they understood the game well.
Lot of enthu was displayed by the students. Chocolates were distributed to the kids.
Two Students from each team was given the prize for their active participation in the event.
All the kids were gifted with a yellow colored Smiley ball as children's day gift.
Navaneethan, a 9th standard student was given gift & round of applause for being the Overall best student for this year. Few other students were mentioned for their merits.
The day was really memorable for the students as well for volunteers.



Thanks & Regards
