STARTT SLP - Christmas Celebrations


It was a Christmas celebration with a difference – Rather than confining to ourselves the joy and cheer of Christmas , we desired to spread the same among the less privileged around us.The STARTTites ( SLP – juniors & seniors)  went to Snehasadan Boys' Home(A Home for the under-privileged Children, located off Bannerghatta Road , Arekere-Mico Layout PO ) on the 20th of December and celebrated Christmas along with the 33 boys.

The idea was conceived several months back & the STARTTites were asked to start saving money towards buying some gifts for the boys of Snehasadan.  There were contributions from some of the mentors/volunteers and well-wishers also. Thanks to these contributions, we have been able to provide each and every child of Snehasadan with a bed sheet set (bed sheet+ pillow cover), a stationary kit (Notebook, pencil, pen) & a chocolate bar. These items were giftwrapped as individual packets to ensure that each STARTTite could personally handover a gift packet.

Apart from handing over the gifts, there were snacks, games & cultural performances as part of the celebrations. Several games were organized for the STARTTites and the Snehasadan boys.  There were also cultural performances (storytelling, songs & dances) by both Snehasadan Boys and STARTTItes. The events of the day ended with Xmas Carols by the STARTTites.  Though the initial plan was also to have dinner along with them, the plan had to be changed to be sure that we are back on time. Hence the dinner packets for the Snehasadan boys were handed over to them&the dinner for STARTTites was given as take away parcels after getting back to Church. We were back in our Church campus by 8pm.
  
From the feedback received, we are happy to learn that it was indeed a memorable day for Snehasadan Boys as well as the STARTTites. It wasn’t only about the sharing of goodies & gifts, but also of spending time together through games and cultural activities by children of the same age group.  The bonding was evident, and as we were leaving Snehasadan, the boys gave each and every STARTTite a Snehasadan 2015 Calendar wishing them the very best for a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

The STARTTites were very impressed by the discipline, hardwork& the sharing nature demonstrated by the Snehasadan boys and came back feeling happy and content.
