Koseli, a school for slum and street children hosted its first annual sports day at its premises on Saturday, Dec 24. [break]
“Koseli means a gift and we gift children a normal childhood. Apart from education, medicines, food and clothes that we provide, we thought of exposing them to a platform where they could enjoy and exhibit their talents at the same time, so we endeavored for a sports day.” shares Renu Bagaria, the founder of the school.
The event kicked off with a march past from the students followed by obstacle race, balloon race, three legged, book race, 100 m boys/girls race, relays and sack race.
After all the races ended, little boys and girls demonstrated their drills and dances.
Towards the end of the event, they had two beautifully adorned Christmas trees and an effigy Santa Claus for celebrating Christmas.
The event concluded with a prize distribution which included trophies and medals from the Chief Guest Ninendra Raj Shrestha to the ones who managed to bag the first, second and third positions in the races.
