Children’s day is celebrated worldwide in various days in honor of children. In most of the countries, it is celebrated in 1st October including Sri Lanka. It was established in order to prevent excessive child labour taken place in earlier days. Also, child protection has become a major issue in the past few decades, and this fact is also paid attention when establishing this day.
This day holds special
attention of us Leos, for it is a day for us to turn our attention towards
children. There are many children in Sri Lanka who live under minimum
facilities and we were determined that their moral should be improved not only
to this day, but for as long as it takes.
Our main target was to recognize children with
special talents and encourage them to enhance their abilities by providing an
appropriate surrounding. We wanted to appreciate their special skills and
through that to develop their self confidence.
Most of the children suffer from lack of resources
in their schools. We wanted to give them a chance to recognize themselves so
these children won’t be left out without showing their skills. It also allows
teachers to identify children beyond ordinary skills and encourage them to
further developing their skills.
Gandara Model primary school is a rural school once who really need a helping hands to reveal and develop their talents. we were conducted a competition of Copy
writing ,Arts ,Speaking
skills and Recitation and measure their talents and appreciate them and awarded for their talents.
After the competition, we Leos gathered with
children to entertain ourselves and we enjoyed each other’s company for a great
deal. In the end, this project proved to be a valuable and a memorable
experience to all of us for it brought us fun, knowledge and responsibility
altogether.
