The Diwali Mela@Vivante on Saturday,19th October 2019 saw something amazing this year- the young sunshiners-a group of Vivante kids ran two stalls to raise awareness and funds for Sunshine Society all on their own. A stall for selling diyas painted by the children themselves and some plants and another stall for games were managed for 3 hours by a group of 13 children all working in harmony to divide duties of ushering people, explaining what they are doing, selling and managing records and cash box. They managed a whopping profit of INR 6100/- which goes to Sunshine. Besides supporting the cause they wanted to, you could see how the future citizens of our society can really make a difference and work on things independently with little and right guidance.
There were other games stalls, performances and attractions at the mela which these sunshine volunteers missed happily coz they were so much into what they were doing and had an amazing sense of responsibility. Visitors came in throngs unable to resist this lovely bunch of very young kids( from 6 years to 13 years) proudly managing their stalls with words of praise and encouragement and went away with diyas or plants and surely knowing more about Sunshine Society. This enthusiastic bunch of children were led by Dr Vini Agarwal and had been working hard for last two weeks to learn more about Sunshine, meet,discuss, plan, collect and paint diyas,make paper bags and get ready for the final show. Shuchita Gupta, Jaya Varma and Vidya Akkireddy pitched in to support as and when needed.
The children who worked for the cause are:
Vedika, Shruti, Gaurang, Princy, Sirjan, Neel, Ananya, Reeti, Samaya, Vardha, Nivriti, Shree, Ananya
