Joy Of Giving Week – Oct 1 st to Oct 7th 2020

Martin Luther King Jr. once said “Life’s persistent and most urgent question is, What are you doing for others?”

During the last week of September, Diya’s Trainers conducted special online sessions for our Trainees on the concept of ‘sharing with others’. Videos were shown and discussions were held on the value of sharing, giving to others and also being grateful. Each Trainee was then encouraged to think of someone in their neighbourhood they would like to share something with. Parents too enthusiastically participated in the Joy of Giving Week.

Trainees and their families shared in different ways
