Read More‘Samanvaya’- An initiative by 'Koshish' that touched tiny souls in a big way
Today’s children will be the one who will be shaping the bright future of our country. Keeping this theme in mind , ‘Koshish’ – social responsibility club of Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Kolkata along with college’s student body IMF ,has recently organized ‘Samanvaya’ marking the 6th Foundation Day of IIFT ,Kolkata which falls on 16th July. Underprivileged children of all age groups associated with Calcutta Samaritans adorned ‘Samanvaya’ with their cheerful presence.
Calcutta Samaritans is one of the prominent NGOs based in Kolkata and has been working for the upliftment of street children since 1971.It addresses various issues ranging from de-addiction to AIDS and is active in the rehabilitation of such children for their better future. The event was attended by Mr. Timothy Barito, director of pavement club along with other teachers, who have been working self lessly for enriching the life of these children.
Mr.Timothy addressed the students to sensitize them to the needs and problems of society. His words encouraged them to take up the opportunities to give it back to the society as IIFT mandates two week internship in an NGO as part of its curriculum. The special attraction of the event was the joyful dance performance by the colorfully dressed enthusiastic little children. Talent has no boundaries and this was evident in the Bengali play based on Rabindranath Tagore which was also performed. Eminence talent with such simplicity touched everyone’s heart.
A small painting competition-‘Taare Zameen Par’ was also organized which saw active participation from all children and best paintings out of all were awarded .The event ended amid chuckles and memories captured to be relived later.
‘Samanvaya’ – true to its name has led to the interaction of students of IIFT with the children sensitizing them to the various issues of society. A few smiles shared will have a positive impact on both sides of the society.
