RC Calcutta Metropolitan South today helped ‘Bodhayan’ – an organization for Mentally Challenged Children and their Parents, to organize their annual inter school cultural meet for the mentally challenged students at Dr. B.C. Roy Auditorium, Sealdah. Around 20 schools for these special children took part in the day long program. The present crowd of 300 fully enjoyed the great performances in the form of Dance, Song, Drama etc. by the special children.
Six club members led by President Rtr. Indrani worked as volunteers for this program. They helped in the registration process, stage decoration, stage co-ordination, helped in the physical movement of the participants especially to get on and off stage via the stairs, distributing food packets etc. Earlier the club members took part in the souvenir collection for the event and contributed Rs. 3150. The club members while volunteering got some new friends like Amit, Mahabir, Bubai, Abhishek. Though they are called ‘Mentally Challenged’ but their creative talent is no less than an ordinary person. So for the club members they have become ‘Special Friends’.
After nearly 5 hours of dazzling performances came the time for prize distribution. ‘Noble Mission’ got the first prize followed by ‘Morning Glory’ and ‘South Calcutta Ananda Niketan’ as second and third respectively. Mrs. Ranjana Dasgupta & Mr. Romit Dasgupta of Globsyn Group also enjoyed the day with the club members.
