New Delhi: To celebrate Daughters’ Day, PRCI Delhi Chapter organised a site visit to Holy Family Ashaniwas, an orphanage for girls at Mahavir Nagar, Dabri-Palam Road, Delhi. Study material, games, bedsheets and refreshments were presented to the children.
PRCI celebrates
Daughters’ Day as an annual event to create focus attention on the importance
of the girl child. This year the event has received added impetus with the
launch of 'Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao' by
Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Holy Family Ashaniwas children were overwhelmed to
see PRCI delegates and sang a heartwarming welcome and prayer song.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. N.D. Rajpal, Chairman,
Governing Council PRCI told the children about the importance of education in
their lives. He also highlighted various
activities conducted by PRCI all over India.
Dr. Gaganjit Singh, Chairman, Delhi Chapter, wished all
the children and encouraged them to talk about their areas of interest. He also interacted with the staff to discuss
further possibilities of aid to be given.
The children interacted with the PRCI team talking about their
favourite subjects, hobbies and career dreams. While the younger ones (aged
3-8) were happy talking about their favourite food, movie stars, what games
they play etc., it was the older group of children who spoke about their
knowledge of Kalpana Chawla, our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, their aspirations like to
become a teacher, computer engineer as well as a sportswoman.
“It was truly a heartwarming interaction,” said Dr
Gaganjit Singh.
