As the spirit of Diwali celebrations continue in Aashayein and Jaagriti

A splendid event held by Aashayein and Jaagriti in promoting awareness and bringing people closer to its cause was held at Evaluserve, Gurgaon on 12th October, 2009. A Diwali stall catering to the employees of the company was set up by Prachi, Deboshree, Zulaikha, Swastik, and Anchit. It was a grand success for the team, which was overwhelmed by the response for their products. With a theme of Diwali essentials, the Aashayein stall was crowded with impressed buyers who bought things in bulk.

Our best seller for the day was a Rs.150 worth Pooja thali with Ganesh ji and Lakshmi ji engraved with poise on the top and a round of small diya’s encircling the rest of the thali. Our new diya’s with carvings of a Ganesh, swans, and swastiks and embedded with mirrors and stones were marked by elegance. It was an aura of a carnival with potpourri’s, home-made chocolates, gift packs, homemade candles and fancy shagun envelopes decorating the entire counter.

An impressive effort by all the volunteers was marked with immense success. Whilst the employees of the corporate left with exciting artefacts to flaunt this Diwali, the team of Aashayein and Jaagriti walked back with smiles and a sense of satisfaction for bringing the cause closer to its vision

The main theme of the programme was having a great time with the kids.

The children sang the song-"Itni shakti hume dena" followed by various dance performances. They performed various dance styles which ranged from GIDDA to JAZZ to BOLLYWOOD and it was plain to see that they were having a wonderful time. After a little more of dancing with the children, snacks were distributed amongst them after which we called it a day.
