HRM Students from IMI-Delhi Celebrate Children’s Day with Smile Foundation Kids

It is often mistaken as mental retardation but an autistic person is like a normal human being with the aforementioned symptoms. In India, one in every 250 people have certain degree of autism, but the awareness about it is abysmally low.

Action For Autism, under the aegis of which Open Door is being run, is an initiative taken to spread awareness about autism, apart from carrying out research into deciphering the psychology of the autistic, and running pedagogical programs to train the prospective faculty for the grooming of the autistic.

In the sprawling lawns of the school, the IMI students performed a diverse mix of songs, tempting the audience to tap their foot and sing along. It was a pleasing sight to watch the children charging on to them, in sheer innocence, trying to pluck a string or two of the guitar and snatching the mike to sing in their own unbeatable way. After the performance, the students also interacted with the faculty and the children of AFA, which they definitely felt was quite a learning experience.

Each moment was savoured watching the kids running around, playing their silly pranks on each other and brimming with innocence. Their feelings, expressions and smiles were well-captured by IMI’s Corporate Communications’ personnel’s camera. With the serving of snacks, the function came to a close. At the time of departure, the International Management Institute’s students were gifted with items crafted by the unsung angels.

However, the students felt that they were gifted more with the children’s love and warmth more than anything else. The children taught them something extremely important. "They made us realize that there are some things in life which hold more worth than anything else, and this is the least we could do to try to live up to that worth. We left the boundary of Open Door with a desire to associate ourselves with the kids in whatever way we can, and we look forward to visit them often. Indeed, it’s an honor for us."
