On the 19th of September 2015, 12 Leos visited the Siddhartan Care Center as a “Spotlight On Children” project. We first did an introduction with the orphans by introducing names and ambitions. Many of them had expressed their interest in becoming policemen or doctors in the future. Next, we gave them pieces of coloured paper for them to write their wishes or doodle on. Many of them drew the Leo emblem on their cards and a few of them were keen on being Leos in the future.
After making the cards we had a little game called “What Did I Get?” whereby a box of Pocky and sweets were wrapped in layers with newspaper and “Dancing On Newspaper” where after each round, the newspaper had to be folded in half. After the games, we ate mooncakes with them in conjunction with the Mooncake Festival next week and gave them snacks. Then, we handed over 58 books from the 290 books that we had collected through our Book Collection Drive to the caretaker.
We enjoyed interacting with the affable, well-mannered children and we were very happy to see their cheerfulness. At the end of the project, we said our goodbyes. The children thanked us for coming and hoped that we would visit them again. Overall, the project was a successful and meaningful one, and we had an amazing and enjoyable experience with the children. To Navineshvaren who will be participating in the finals of a football tournament next week, we wish you good luck and all the best! ROAR!
