School students make donations to J&K Yateem Foundation

Srinagar, July 20: A group of young students of Green Valley Educational Institute (GVEI) Srinagar visited J&K Yateem Foundation's orphanage Baitul Hilal at Jawahar Nagar here today.

The group interacted with the scholars of Baitul Hilal and focussed their interaction on social, educational and career development.

Over two dozen students, both boys and girls, of class 12 of the Department of Humanities, were part of a student delegation led by School Activities Officer Rafi Ahmad Badri.

The school gifted various kinds of items including juice, milk, butter, biscuits, stationery and clothes worth several hundreds. The school donated over 17000 in cash to the organisation.

Rafi Badri opened the interaction session and talked at length about the need and relevance of social service to work for the welfare, rehabilitation and emancipation of underprivileged sections of our society. He enjoined upon GVEI students to inculcate a sense of social service amongst themselves and take initiatives for the upliftment of weaker sections of the society.

Chairman JKYF Mohammad Ahsan Rather in his vote of thanks wholeheartedly appreciated the great goodwill gesture of students and the school itself to facilitate visit of young students for interaction with the scholars of Baitul Hilal. He enjoined upon guest students to inculcate a sense of belonging vis a vis poor orphans, widows and destitute by spending some amount of time with the underprivileged for their encouragement and sense of social support. He thanked school management for arranging such a goodwill visit and urged the management to continue such endeavours in future. He sensitised the guest students about various welfare and rehabilitation programmes of JKYF irrespective of caste, colour, creed, region or religion.

The guest students later interacted with the children in a joyful manner.
