1. SPREADING SMILES AND MULTIPLYING JOYS ST KAREN’S MONTESSORI SCHOOL , PATNA Our Mission to Share & Care by the Students of

6. At SKAP Cottage - Day 2 Fun games, quizzes, competitions and a magic show ensured our second visit was an entertaining one! Gifts for the games and competitions, gifts for all the children and more common gifts for all left us so FULL of the Joy of giving!

7. At Jeevan Sarovar School The 50 kids ranging from 4-10 yr olds looked excited as we started our mission to get the children smiling!!! A little performance of skits on personal hygiene and cleanliness, drew smiles and little snickers! Confusion ensued when we started distributing their school bags but very soon they settled down to their colouring and dot-to-dot activities.Really not prepared fpr another onslaught of gifts,the little ones were wide eyed when they saw the common gifts for their school—2 big, colourful Carrom/Ludo boards,6 snakes and ladders boards,cricket sets(for boys), toy kitchen sets( for girls), balls and rackets…it was more than they could imagine!! Health & Hygiene (Click to Play)

8. CHANGE ??? DID WE CHANGE ANY OF THE CHILDRENS’ LIVES? We like to believe so. By SHARING,CARING and SPENDING our time with our new friends at the orphanage, we like to think we were angels of love! By a small act of giving gifts and seeing the wide surprised eyes of the kids at Jeevan Sarovar, we like to think we have helped them to make a determined choice to come to school-to study and play!

9. WERE WE CHANGED? “ I realise how much my mom and dad mean to me” — Prachi. “ I will not waste food” – Arunima (the kids at the orphanage had simple meals, and the kids at Jeevan Sarovar really only had one or two proper meals). Giving came easily when we worked together - we decided we could and would do the same on our own as well. We realised that it wasn’t difficult to SPREAD SMILES AND MULTIPLY JOYS—we just had to WANT to make the change!
