CRISIL family shares Smiles
with Kids
 “We
went to give a Smile, we returned with a Smile,” – Atul
Surana
“Though it started as an event it turned
out to be an experience- memorable, soul satisfying and inspiring
us to look for more such opportunities,” – Daphne Don
"Saturday raining morning, a chilled AC in
my room and a brewing coffee - a perfect setting for a day long
sleep in my bed, but I chose spending time with my friends at Somangalam.
I must say it was a priceless moment in my life and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. In most of the counts, these children were more talented
than us (seriously).Hope we will continue doing this for our society,"
– Ankit Jain
Smile Foundation organised an employee engagement
programme with CRISIL at several projects under Mission Education
programme across India in the month of May, 2010.
Around 125 volunteers from CRISIL at various locations
participated in the programme, where they interacted with the kids
and conducted various fun-filled activities for the underprivileged
children.
 The
group and solo dance performances from the kids at all centres were
so enchanting that several volunteers from CRISIL were seen on the
stage shaking their legs along with the kids. The drawing completion organised for the kids
was made participatory as volunteers were made to supervise the
students to draw relevant sketches on environment related issues
and color them with crayons.
There was also one of the kids favourite craft
activity being organised i.e., Pot Painting. Volunteers and kids
fabricated beautiful pots together which showed the team spirit
as well as a spirit of bringing the change through small steps.
Learning mathematics was made interesting for
the kids by making them use the bank cheque books. The students
were given bank cheque books and taught how to manage money in their
accounts. They also learned how to fill the cheque slips.
At the end of the event, children bought their
favourite gifts i.e., Soft Toys with the help of cheques. Prizes
were also distributed to winners of different competitions.
