Sole Support Project: Spreading Smiles on ‘Hellen Keller Day’

Students of RS Wing of Junior School undertaken an inspiring project named "Sole Support," with the aim of collecting and distributing shoes to underprivileged children. This initiative not only provided an opportunity for our students to engage in community service but also fostered a sense of empathy and solidarity among them.

The collection drive was launched with great enthusiasm. Students, teachers, and staff members rallied together, spreading the word through social media, local community centers, and parent-teacher meetings. Donation boxes were placed in various locations within the school premises. The response was overwhelming, with hundreds of pairs of shoes being donated in just a few weeks.

After the collection phase, the students volunteered their time to sort, clean, and pack the shoes. This task was not only a logistical challenge but also a learning experience. Students categorized the shoes by size and type, ensuring that the distribution would be as organized and efficient as possible.

The highlight of the Sole Support project is the distribution event planned for Helen Keller Day. This special day will see our students visiting a local school for the blind, where they will personally hand over the shoes to the visually impaired children.

Daly College Community Service and Wildlife Awareness Project

Daly College, in collaboration with BAAVAN, embarked on the 5th edition of its impactful five-day Community Service and Environment Awareness Project in Panna. A team of 36 enthusiastic students and 4 teachers along with the Principal, Vice Principal (Pastoral Care) and Dy. Dean CCA attended the project.

The participants launched a health campaign focused on community wellness and women’s hygiene awareness. Spreading across five buffer villages—Madla, Nahari, Bagauha, Toriya, and Dhamna, the team engaged with local women and distributed sanitary pads, ensuring essential health resources reached those in need.

A bustling health camp at the local Government Middle School, Madla became a sanctuary for those in need—not just from Madla, but from Nahari, Bagauha, Toriya, and Dhamna as well.

With 556 registrations and 445 pairs of spectacles bringing the world into sharper focus, the camp ensured that no ailment went unnoticed. Medications for ENT, dental, and general health concerns were distributed, weaving a fabric of wellness into the community.
