Joy of Giving


National Public School, Kalkere, celebrated The Joy of Giving Week in the second week of December 2022. The celebration commenced with a talk, in the morning assembly, about the act of giving- which however small or big, is an act of spreading happiness, love and compassion. The students collected old newspapers and raised a commendable fund. Cereals, pulses, and biscuits were bought; Students of Grades 4 and 8 donated various packaged food items in whatever capacity they could. Grade 8 students then took this care package to Mother Destitute Old Age Home. One of the best feelings in the world is watching someone’s face light up with pure joy and excitement when they receive a gift you give. And that is exactly what happened in the old age home. Taking it further, our students interacted with the inmates and even sang carols together. The week-long activity of generosity and fellow feeling was really fulfilling. 
Indeed, service before self, resonated in these initiatives.
