50 CHILDREN PROVIDED WITH STEEL UTENSILS
The NSS, Panjab University has marked the Joy of Giving Week at its South campus sector – 25, Chandigarh with children of migrant construction workers. This unique initiative was lead by Dr Gaurav Gaur, NSS program officer alongwith his two NSS volunteers Kavneet Singh and Jaskirat Kaur.
Before conducting this event a need based survey of the different construction sites was conducted to identify the exact needs of these families especially children. During this survey the need of utensils was identified. Afterwards it was decided to provide these children with steel utensils, so that they can have their food in a proper manner. All these children were provided with a new steel plate, spoon and a glass. All these items were sponsored by a senior Professor serving at Panjab University only.
There was no end of excitement and happiness for these children as it came as a surprise for all of them. “Now, my hands would be safe and I won’t feel hot because I can keep my chapatis in the plate” said seema, one of the beneficiary child from the lot. Another boy Shiva said “we can use our mug for bathing now, as I have glass to drink water”. All of them were quite amazed with this surprise.
Gaurav Gaur, thanked the worthy Professor for this wonderful gesture and the volunteers for making it possible. To utilize this occasion in the best possible manner Kavneet and Jaskirat also demonstrated them the correct way of hand washing.
