We need to
teach our children to give away their things so that they turn to be
compassionate and humble adults and the world is a better place to live.
To develop
this habit among our students we have tied up with an NGO ‘Family of Disabled’
headed by Mr. Rajinder Johar, whose honourable work was also appreciated in the
program Satyamev Jayate. This NGO helps the disabled people by giving them
wheel chairs, tricycles, hearing aids, crutches, etc. To help them, ‘Joy of
Giving’ activity has been introduced wherein students of all the classes are
motivated to bring two old newspapers from home on every Wednesday and put them
in the box provided in the school. The
van from this NGO comes and takes these newspapers from school.
These
newspapers will be either sold as scrap and the money used for supporting their
cause or made into envelopes
providing employment to the disabled and later these envelops will be sold in
the market generating money to provide wheel chairs, loans, children’s
education of disabled parents, etc.
In these
times when we as well as the children feel stressed doing something nice at the
end of the day will help us and our children to be peaceful at heart. So, we
have jointly started this effort and hope it would be a successful one. It is a
very small token to part away with and to introduce our children ‘Joy of Giving’.

As it is
rightly said,
Before giving…the mind
of the giver is happy;
While giving…the mind of
the giver is peaceful;
Having given…the mind of
the giver is uplifted. -Buddha
