A sweet Christmas day

It was a Friday morning and it was Christmas day. So it’s a general holiday and I had already marked the day to spend time with orphanage kids and have a good time and celebrate the day.

I woke up early in the morning on Christmas day, and waking up early on a holiday is a rare thing for me. I reached the orphanage on time, met a few more people who were also from our office and tried to help them with the arrangement and decoration.

There were these kids, especially girls between the ages of around 4 to 14 I could say. These orphanage trustee people have really worked hard to save these kids from all over the places and brought them and protecting them with good educational support and a better environment. Thanks to Satyam foundation and the member of foundation and the event organizer for making such a wonderful social event.

We organized painting competitions with different age group circle 4 to 6 and 7 to 12 and rest in other group. We offered them the paintings materials like color pencils, water paints, sketches etc.

After the painting we had a gala time watching those kids dance for a few songs which they have been preparing for this event from the past few days. Then there was a free dance open stage for anyone to entertain the kids. One of the office mates took the initiative and danced a free style, it was funny and good. 

Then it was prize distribution for the winner of painting and some snacks time so we had a special guest: our very own very famous, the one and only one Santa.

“Oh wait a sec, oh that’s interesting! We’ve got two Santas!”

Kids loved the Santas and all of them hugged him and took those sweets. The next thing that happened was really marvelous- there was this kid of around 6 who said the math multiplication tables from 2 to 20 without pausing for a break. That was really great. My mouth was wide open after listening to her; I guess I didn’t know that much math when I was her age.

These kids are really talented and have a positive attitude but they just need some care and emotional support and some support for their future. That day, I felt really great visiting the place. Life is not just about us. Once in a while, these activities are also pretty good. A helping hand is what these kids were looking for.

I prefer a life with less money and a smile on a face then more money and no smile.

I did it and I think it’s your turn now. 
