XIMBians Organize 'SPARSH', a FUN DAY for Slum Children

Students of the renowned Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar joined hands to organize a fun filled day for children from slums of Bhubaneswar.

The event involved a series of cultural and sports events for these children along with blood group test and meals for them.

The event called 'Sparsh'; organized by XIMBians in association with Human Life Center, Bhubaneswar; involved over 200 children from seven different HLC schools running in various slums all over the city. HLC is run by the Jesuit Society to educate poor and economically less fortunate children. Slum schools are an extended program under HLC's umbrella of social initiatives. Presently the HLC runs schools in 7 slum locations of the city.

'Sparsh' has been the culmination of a month long interaction between the students and these children. The students have been taking time out from their rigorous academic schedules to visit these children and training them in skills like dancing; painting etc. The students also celebrated Children's Day with these kids at their schools distributing sweets and fruits.
