Children’s Day Celebration with Diabetes awareness
program by the students at Orchids- The International School
Bangalore, 15th November
2013: Merging two important days marked for Children and World Diabetes,
Orchids-The International School today celebrated the day in a unique manner by
conducting a diabetes awareness program in their premises.
Over 30 million have been diagnosed with
diabetes in India last year.
And childhood diabetes
is more common than you think. India has over one million juvenile diabetics and
the ailment claims 12,000 lives each year and there’s no way to figure out how
many children die undiagnosed each year. This insightful program
was organized to instill awareness about the growing malaise thus making the day
educational and eventful for both the children and the parents. The children
with the help of the faculty and parents prepared an informative presentation on
the cause, symptoms, and precautionary measures of the same.
With an aim to make the day noteworthy, the skilled team of
teachers at Orchids conducted a skit on “Child Labour”. Kids were thrilled to
watch their teachers performing for them. The event concluded with children
participating in activities, such as singing, dancing, painting, drawing, quizz,
storytelling, elocution, fancy dress, debate, speeches and so on. The winning
students were rewarded generously.
The Parents encouraged the children for the event. All 33
students from grade five presented the program which was readily accepted and
appreciated by the parents and other dignitaries attending the event.
Talking about the unique initiative by the students, Ms.
Pushpa Prasad, Dean Academics said, “We are glad to
be able to showcase an event that merges the sentiments of both days and make it
an educational day for the children and parents
together. Our endeavor is to nurture the minds of children so that they
can think out of the box and put together unique ideas that matter to them. We
look forward to encouraging and showcasing more such distinctive ideas in the
coming months. ”
Parents of Albin, Nikhil, Sanya and Abipsa from grade five
added “The Diabetes awareness program arranged by the students was really very
educative and an eye opener. We are aware of the disease but identifying and
dealing with it can be tricky. It was special for me not only because my son/
daughter presented the same but also because it shows the new generation kids
are so much aware & are also sensitizing us to the issue and remain healthy.
Would also like to thanks Orchids teachers who helped and guided the students to
put together such an amazing event for us”
All in all it was a
remarkable day with parents, teachers and students coming together for a cause
thus making it an event to remember.
