A Press Meet on ‘Pass it on’ – A
unique initiative by ‘Cubs Club’ – An NGO committed to social change through
the power of giving, & which has as its members working women & their
children, was held at Press Club here. Ms. Meenu Prashar, Founder &
Convenor, Cubs Club interacted with media along-with privileged school children
from St Soldiers School, Sec 16, Panchkula & DAV Model School, Sec15,
Chandigarh. It’s noteworthy that school children of these two schools had
participated in the philanthropic activity ‘Pass It On’. Under ‘Pass It On’
three different groups of privileged students helped three separate groups of
underprivileged kids. The privileged school children collected items of daily
use & necessity in form of used stationary, books, school bags, pencil
boxes, pouches, clothing etc which were donated directly to the needy children.
“The
activity saw participation of young students. During this children of various
schools in tricity were asked to get involved in an act of kindness. As we at
the Club feel that we don’t make children happy when we simply enable them to
be receivers of kindness. The initiative taught privileged children the value
of sharing and true meaning of happiness.” Said Meenu Prashar.
Cubs
Club children visited a Primary School in Village Togan near Chandigarh. The
School has strength of almost 150 students mostly coming from labour class.
Club members went there with gifts (Old and New) along with some refreshments.
This little help brought smile to innocent needy kids. Club helped them with
few school supplies.
St
Soldiers School, Sec 16, Panchkula in their part of the activity visited slum
kids in Sec 8 Panchkula. There was around 20 kids with whom students shared
their old stuff as a part of Pass it on activity. “We learnt a lot during our
visit. We gave our less privileged friends things of art, pens, copies, pencils
etc. It was very sad to know that some of these hardworking kids were finding
it difficult to pay school fess too. The initiative helped us develop empathy
towards our underprivileged brothers & sisters.” Said Deepali Jain from St
Soldiers School, Panchkula.
DAV Model
School, Sec 15, Chandigarh students went to a Primary School in Khuda Ali Sher-
They went there with Fresh stock of Registers, pencils and few refreshments.
Students had collected old bottles and tiffin boxes to give to their less
privileged friends. “The conditions in which these underprivileged children
were studying were quite disconcerting. We saw lack of basic amenities like
benches and desks & this made us realise how privileged we were. After
this activity we want to give a message that one should always strive to extend
a helping hand for the not so fortunate in society.” Said Zoravar Singh a
Student of DAV Model School, Sec 15, Chandigarh.
Cubs Club has maintained its tradition of imparting
values to its little members & children from privileged backgrounds so as
to create a world that our generation dreams of, a society where there is
equality & happiness is derived from giving. ‘Pass It On’ was an embodiment
of this value system of Cubs Club.
