On a hot summer day, Aarohan’s children were showered with smiles, love and care by the Philips India interns. On Tuesday, 17th of May, we were expecting some Philips employees to visit us for their CSR activity. Soon a tall, young girl who was Vaidehi entered our workshop and along with her came 17 other young interns who were studying in prestigious institutions like XLRI and IIM. It is a matter of pride for us that the Aarohan children could interact with and learn from such bright students.
The interns asked the children whether they had heard about Philips and the children responded positively. After mutual introduction between the interns and the children, groups were formed. Some interns talked to the older children about Sant Kabir’s couplets and even about the stock market! The rest of the interns happily listened to the poems recited by the younger children.
The afternoon was reserved for a bag decoration contest. The necessary items like water colors, paint brushes, glitter pens etc were provided by the interns. The children played around with colors and created some strikingly beautiful designs and patterns. Some of the best ones were picked up by the Philips interns as souvenirs.
Evening was the time for entertainment and fun. Some children performed a skit on traffic rules which was greatly applauded by the audience. Other children presented dance and dramatized speeches. A round of antakshari between the teams of Aarohan and Philips completed the fun filled day.
The children and the interns carried back fond memories of the day with them.
