Celebrating New Year Eve the Humane Way

Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make, not only our own happiness, but that of the world at large.

Community service plays a pivotal role in building a better and stronger society. Following the guiding principles of the club of building goodwill and friendships the members of the Interact Club of DAV Dwarka  celebrated 31^st December 2015,the New Year Eve in a humane way by inviting 30 girls  of orphanage –Udaan- Rose Home run by Salaam Balak Trust. The day commenced with a ‘Hawan’ performed by the Interact Club Students, the students of Arya Yuva Samaj and the girls.

Being a Microsoft Showcase School, the school decided to initiate a digital training program on the same day, as a special effort to empower the girls with 21^st century skills, so as to enable them to lead their lives with dignity and decency. They were given the first session of the IT Training by the Microsoft Innovative Experts under which they were introduced with various tips and tricks to use MS Word.

In an effort to make the day special, the members of the interact Club conducted a number of fun games like Lemon Spoon Race, Tug of War, Inflating the balloon, Relay race, balancing the act for the girls, wherein all of them participated enthusiastically. T It was then followed by a delicious lunch organized by the members of the Heritage Club of the school. The Interactors gifted them toys. The coordinator of the club presented prizes to the winners of races in different categories. A wide range of medicines and hygiene care products were also donated. All donation was done with the money received from the students of the club and the teachers of the school.

The gleaming faces of the girls, sparkle of happiness in their eyes was the best way for the students of DAV Dwarka to welcome the new year and kickstart another year looking forward to fill others’ lives with hope and happiness. Principal Monika Mehan blessed and motivated the girls. She applauded the efforts of the Interact Club and inspired the students to continue the noble task of community service.
