SEPC Inauguration Day This day is specially designed and dedicated for children, so that they will get engaged in building relationship with NGO Children. Simplest and the most valuable thing you can give to these children is time. Rather than brushing them off to make your way to the next tourist site, spend some time to ask them their names, what they like to do, or their favourite games.
We believe “Generosity doesn’t have to mean giving away things. Sharing a bit of yourself, opening a window into your own world, is a good place to begin.” Not only will it be healthier but it will also let the NGO children feel more secure knowing that you are interested in his or her world and respect it.
