On 15th January 2018, students of SUPW club visited American Montessori Public School,Gurugram. Two students gave a speech about the importance of Lohri and Makar Sankranti to underprivileged students of the evening batch and members of Lioness Club. Stationery items were distributed to the students. The gathering broke up for a snack.

It was a learning experience for the visiting students of G.D.Goenka public school.They understood the virtue of sharing and the blessings that were bestowed on them.Each one of them were moved by their experience.

Life is a balance of giving and taking. We are showered with untold blessings like a secure family, a good education and a  congenial environment. We must give back to the society.

The students of G.D.Goenka Public school accompanied by our S.U.P.W teacher visited American Montessori Public School. It was an enlightening experience. We carried with us food and stationery items. The look of joy that welcomed us made it worthwhile.

The students of American Montessori Public School came up to us. Some of them addressed me as ‘didi’. Their joy of receiving gifts was fulfilling. The things we take for granted were treasures for these children. It was humbling to realize that we forget to value what we get so easily. I spoke about the relevance of Lohri. When I spoke of love and giving, my words were heavy with feelings of a new found joy.
