Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) [India], September 12: On a seemingly ordinary afternoon, sunlight filled the courtyard of Assissi Snehalaya Orphanage, where 26 children and an infant welcomed a special group of visitors. Volunteers from the International Youth Development Fund (IYDF), in collaboration with Sr Decors, arrived bearing sports equipment, educational materials, and food supplies. The atmosphere was soon filled with joy and laughter as the volunteers engaged with the children.
Volunteers and Donations: A Helping Hand in Many Ways
The volunteer team consisted of five dedicated members: Kamal Kumar K, Raja Rathinam S, Mohammed Harris J, Dravin S, and Thirumaran S. They brought not only essential supplies but also companionship and care.
The donations provided during the event covered various aspects of the children’s lives. Sports equipment, such as badminton racquets and volleyballs, encouraged the children to engage in physical activities and stay active. Educational materials, including 46 lined and unlined notebooks, were provided to support the children’s academic progress. In addition, food supplies like 35 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of coarse wheat flour, and a variety of spices ensured that the children would have nutritious meals.
Children’s Laughter and Volunteer Companionship
As the event began, the volunteers introduced the mission of IYDF and encouraged the children to actively participate in both learning and sports. The volunteers demonstrated how to play badminton and volleyball, and soon the children were immersed in the activities, their laughter echoing through the courtyard. Meanwhile, a friendly chess match tested the children’s strategic thinking, as they showcased their skills in a game of wits.
John, the head of the orphanage, expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the visit, saying, “The children’s lives can be monotonous, but today’s event brought them true joy and a sense of care from the outside world. We are thankful to IYDF and Sr Decors for not only providing the material support but also for bringing companionship and happiness to the children.”
Reflections and Future Plans of the Organisers
Reflecting on the day, event organiser Rajadurai S said, “Seeing the smiles on the children’s faces and feeling their joy was incredibly moving. This was more than just a donation of supplies–it was a gesture of care for their emotional well-being. These children don’t just need food and necessities; they also crave attention and kindness from the outside world.”
This successful charity event marks not only a momentary act of assistance but also a commitment to ongoing support. IYDF and Sr Decors plan to continue their efforts in providing aid to more vulnerable communities, bringing hope and positive change to their lives.
