| In India, Jawaharlal Nehru is loved and remembered for many reasons. Not only was he a significant leader in India’s independence movement but he was also independent India’s first prime minister. He is fondly remembered as Chacha Nehru, owing to his great love for children.
On his birthday, November 14, we celebrate Children’s Day throughout the country. On November 14, 2009, the IPEM International School, for the very first time, organized a funfair for its students. The main idea behind organizing the funfair was to make the children feel special and to allow them to enjoy the day to the fullest. The school campus was turned into a fair ground, with game stalls such as shooting hoops, pinning the donkey’s tail, and shooting balloons, lining the front of the field, and food stalls offering a variety of snacks, dominating the centre of the field. The video game stall was easily the most popular among the students, and quite a few teachers were seen shaking a leg at the disco hall, which reverberated with music. With all students enjoying the various stalls and the ambience, the funfair was a huge success. In fact, even when it started raining, the spirit of the children or the staff members manning the stalls was not dampened. It can be safely said that the funfair was the most enjoyed event in the school year. “God sent children for another purpose than merely to keep up the race – to enlarge our hearts; and to make us unselfish and full of kindle sympathies and affections; to give our souls higher aims; to call out all our faculties to extended enterprise and exertion; and to sing around our firesides, bright faces, happy smiles and loving tender hearts.” - Mary Botham Hewitt |
