CSU India celebrates Diwali with a Purpose…
It’s arguably the best time of the
year when we are having series of festivals one following another. Diwali being the biggest and the brightest
festival in India. It spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness.
And the CSU India team aimed to do just that…
Almost a week
before Diwali, instead of the usual Diwali celebration of food, crackers and
grandeur, the CSU team decided to give something back to the society. The initial
idea proposed got thumping applaud and approval for execution. What started as
an idea, took form of a full blown event when presented in the CSU monthly
cakes meeting.
For the uninitiated,
the Annapurna is a residential school for children from marginal sections of
the society. Amdocs CSR has been actively involved with Annapurna Kids through
mentor together and other programs.
On 2nd
November, the CSU team along with India CSR team, planned and brought the
Annapurna Kids to Amdocs premises for Diwali celebration along with them. The
event started with lunch and interaction of the kids with the CSU team. The
comradeship developed in lunch translated in an impromptu session of songs,
interactions and ‘antakshari’
Not only
was the CSU team enthusiastic about the event, they whole heartedly contributed
for the event. From organizing to getting additional return gifts for the
Annapurna Kids, the whole CSU team turned up to make the event a great success.
The way
all the CSU team mingled with the kids, made them smile, surely boosted their
confidence. The event ended with nice return gift for all the kids who attended
the event. The CSU team wished them a happy and safe Diwali and all the Best
for the exam which followed the next day too J
CSU
India has definitely set a wonderful example for many others to follow. This is
a good first step of the CSU India team participating into Blossom-CSR events,
looking forward for many more to come.
