SHILLONG: On the occasion of Deepawali, SPARK organized a Special Eco Friendly Deepawali for the underprivileged children with the prime objective to brighten the lives of these less privileged children by making them enjoy the festival and experience it as they hardly get an opportunity to witness such occasion as they have to work to support their families and in the process, their precious childhood is lost.
As Deepawali signifies the festival of lights hence through this little initiative, we intend to bring light into the lives of these children and provide them a platform where they can enjoy to the fullest and forget all the burdens on their tender shoulders. Diwali also signifies the end of Evil and Rise of Goodness. SPARK hopes that this Diwali ends all the evil and brings goodness and positivity in the lives of all especially these underprivileged and distressed children.
The SPARK team came together & had the real blast with the children who thronged to the celebration like never before & hence changed this event into a real festival.
During the celebration, lamps were lit by the children with a strong belief that its light will bring brightness in the life of every child. Children recited a prayer asking for God’s blessing and support. Thereafter, Shima Modak, Founder & President of SPARK acquainted the children about the essence of Diwali and the purpose of celebrating the same altogether without any kind of discrimination or individual differences. Other attractions of the programme were some games, dance performance and other recreational activities. The children also made colourful rangoli. It was totally an ECO-FRIENDLY Diwali celebrated by these children. Thereafter, food was provided to all the children. Altogether more than 200 children participated in the programme at Bara Bazaar, Mawlynrei and Rangmen Centres of SPARK. The programme was indeed a successful one because it brought real happiness among these children which is indeed a great achievement for us, stated a press release.
