On the warm sunny winter, the clothes fair started with the big bang.
The students received clothes by dancing on " Gangnam Style" and playing
games like Pin The Donkey, Solving Puzzle, Mathematics Questions, Hit
The Can, London Stop, Chungi, Score A Basket. More than 180 students

BUILT UP TO THE CLOTHES DRIVE

Lessons

• The children felt happy when they won the clothes through dance and games.
• There were more clothes than winner, so we started distributing the clothes freely.  The children became  greedy, envious and unappreciative.   We stopped the free distribution after some time.  The remaining clothes will be given in future events.
