Since little kids are
more interested on Christmas than elders the project committee decided to
conduct the project at a children’s home. So as the first step project chairman
and secretary visited the selected children’s home. Through that we could identify
their background and their needs.
This home is maintained
under Rev.sis. Florella. These children are from shanty areas. This home gives
them protection throughout the day from morning to evening until their
caretaker, who does very small jobs such as cleaning service come to pick them
back in the evening. This is a free service provided by this sister bearing all
the expenses of these children. There were 63 kids between from 3 years to 5
years.
The main advertising
activities were done using facebook and inside the university.
One of the main objectives
of advertising was to collect donations. As such we got some financial
donations as well as some stationery items, dry foods and toys.
On the day of the event little kids
performed some dancing and singing items when we visted them.
When it comes to Christmas, carols are very important and interesting
event. So after the kid’s performance club members together with Ignite musical
band performed a small carols service. It added more colors to the event since
kids were happier and they joined us too.
God put Santa Clause on earth to remind us that
Christmas is supposed to be a happy time. So Santa clause is the most
interesting thing kids remember in Christmas. We arranged a Santa clause to
make the event more bright and beautiful. We gifted each and every kid with
small gift pack.
Further every kid was provided with a small snack in
the evening. It was nicely arranged as a good looking, tasty food pack.
Furthermore we decided to donate some stationery items including Books, Bristol
boards, color papers and school uniforms. As well as we donated some dry foods
such biscuit packets, sugar, Rice and milk powder etc..
After this event Rev.sister Florella and her staff of the
children’s home were very thankful for us and expressed their true feeling of
happiness about the event. Kids were very happy about Santa’s arrival and the
carol service. We had a very nice time with those little kids. Finally “Believe
in miracles” was ended successfully because of the great effort, passion and
courage of everyone.
Throughout the project we learnt how to build the team
spirit, leadership. As well as we were able to work with people outside are
circle of friends which led us to build new relatonship with people. It was a
great opportunity leos got in the christmas season to be be happy by seeing the
happiness of these little ones.
