CSR Event organized for underprivileged kids of Kanhai Village , Gurgaon
1. EY – AID CSR Event at Kanhai Village, Gurgaon organized on 26th Oct 2014
On Sat 26th Oct 2013, volunteers from EY CSR team and
Association for India’s Development (AID) came
together to organize a drawing colouring competition
for the children of AID-run primary school ‘Shiksharth’
at village Kanhai in Gurgaon (NCR).
Preparations for the event started with EY CSR team
member,
Suyog
Singh, who
is also leading the AID-Gurgaon chapter, proposing this
activity during the EY monthly CSR meeting , to
encourage these school children and to help in
sustaining and growing their interest (and of their
families) in being regular to school for education.
The venue was kept at the school premises itself and
volunteers from EY (Kanav, Sumit, Karishma and Heba,
along with EY CSR lead Sulbha) discussed out the
modalities and detailed this program (mostly
telephonically due to different locations of posting of
these members). EY CSR unit sponsored this event.
On the scheduled date, about seven volunteers from EY
and
AID
organized
the event
with help from the teachers of this school. The
completion organized in two categories, one for
children up to 6 years and other for children between
7-13 years, saw a very good participation from about
80 children. The younger students were given a free
choice while the older ones were given the theme of
‘Deepawal
i’.Volunteers also made arrangement for water and
refreshments for the participating children and
teachers.
The excitement and energy of the children was worth
watching. At the end of the competition, volunteers
decided 3 winners from each category. Prizes were
given out to the winners as well as other participating
children, to keep them encouraged for future.
