Balangir [India], October 11: The International Youth Development Foundation (IYDF) teamed up with Kids Wonder to organize a heartfelt charity event at the Old Tenery Public School in Balangir district. This initiative, led by Ashish Kumar Agrawal, aimed to provide essential supplies and interactive activities for around 30 children, offering them much-needed support while spreading warmth and care from the wider community.
Donated Supplies: Bringing Warmth to Young Hearts
The event officially began at 1:00 p.m., when volunteers arrived at the school with an array of donated items. These included children's slippers, shoes, jump ropes, hula hoops, toys, books, notebooks, footballs, and a variety of snacks and sweets. Volunteers ensured that each child received these items, which brightened their day and provided them with tangible expressions of care. Hemalata Pattnaik, the school's principal, expressed her gratitude, saying, "We deeply appreciate the support from IYDF and Kids Wonder. These supplies not only enhance the children's lives but also show them that they are cared for by the wider community. We hope to continue receiving such support to help these children grow and thrive."
Interactive Learning: Fun and Educational Activities
After distributing the supplies, the volunteers introduced the purpose of the event, explaining the significance of giving back to the community. They then led a creative drawing session, encouraging the children to express themselves by drawing their favorite things. The air was filled with laughter and excitement as the children eagerly participated, showcasing their creativity and imagination.
Following the drawing session, female volunteers conducted a safety education talk on "Good Touch and Bad Touch," teaching the children essential safety skills. The volunteers used simple language and interactive questions to ensure that the children understood how to protect themselves. This session not only increased the children's awareness but also empowered them with the knowledge to stay safe, leaving them feeling more confident and secure.
The final part of the event was game time, where volunteers and children enjoyed activities such as hopscotch, basketball, and hula hoop games. The joyful atmosphere was palpable as the children relaxed and played with their new friends. Volunteers reflected, "Playing with these children and seeing their happy faces made the entire experience worthwhile. Every smile is a reminder of the impact we can have by showing care and kindness."
