After checking with the school schedules and initial hesitation, the principal gave us permission to conduct the awareness program.
Skit and informative talk: 3rd February, 2009 With the success of the morning skit the volunteers were highly motivated to perform at their optimum. With a closed seminar hall available, all the students had gathered with lot of questions in their mind about why are the volunteers there and what do they want to convey. Skit and informative talks were received very well by the students with an interactive session. The enthusiasm of the students provided satisfaction to the volunteers.

Essay Writing: Number of participants : 28. The participants gathered at the school seminar hall. The students enthusiasm was very much visible in the manner they were wanting to start writing in the competition.
Painting: Number of participants: 36 After the essay competition was completed, the painting competition was held. There were many students who wanted to participate in painting and they stayed back once they completed their essay competition. With few more additions the competition went on smoothly and the students were so deeply involved in the program that they didnt mind the school bell nor making their parents wait. They just had one motive -- To display their best talent in the provided platform.
