walkathon: Week 2, Day 2

27th March, the day of Ugadi... as it was a holiday for most of the people in Bangalore... As well as for the volunteers of the college...

However, a group of our volunteers decided to use the day for the noble cause of Walkathon... They decided to celebrate the festival working for the orphans who do not have sufficient to celebrate ...

They reached Safina Plaza at 2:00 PM... The day passed interacting with the people over there and sharing the thoughts... This went on with this till 8:00 PM....

At the end of the day they where able to raise a sum of Rs. 8125. They where happy that they where able to do some productive work for the deprived....

This has boosted their moral and they are looking forward for the next 2 days....

On behalf of all the students volunteers of our college, I would like to thank all the people who have a real kind and thoughtful heart for the others who do not have the required and are lacking love and affection every kid requires at this phase of the life...

The Feelings of Orphans

I searched for you,
When I opened my eyes in this world.
I searched for you,
When I first walked
I searched for you,
When I first learned new letters.
I searched for you,
When I first experienced joy and sorrow.
I searched for you,
When I first faced the difficulties of life.
I searched for you,
When I closed my eyes in this world
And said "good night" forever.

Walkathon
