Orphanage Visit

The board members along with members left via autos and vehicles to St. Charles. We entered the orphanage at 1:45pm. We took the permission of the sister before giving our thanks and donations to the orphanage. The children were very jovial and welcomed all of us. We began with familiarizing ourselves to the children and then played games like - passing the pass, dancing, singing and much more. Once the children became comfortable we all divided ourselves and sloke to the children and elders, which was very insightful and fun. Furthermore, we distributed ice cream to which all seemed excited. They sang a song for us before we left as a show of gratitude. We left the place at 3:00pm

Once prepared, each group had a two-minute stage time to perform their task. This activity aimed to encourage interaction, cooperation, and team-work among members besides infusing an element of fun into the experience. It led to laughter, creativity, and allowed participants to bond over the shared challenge.

The members of Rotaract Club ensured to distribute the bookmarks to the boys, keychains and bookmarks to the faculty and supporting staff respectively. The members went into every class- shift 1 and 2, to distribute the bookmarks to the boys while giving an insight about the whole concept of Men’s Mental Health. The response was very positive and encouraging. They were surprised and overwhelmed as men’s mental health is not something that is commonly spoken about.
