The children participated in a variety of games that encouraged teamwork and creativity. The celebrations were made even more special with the distribution of snacks and chocolates, leaving every child with fond memories of a day designed entirely around their happiness.

> On 15 and 16 November, we celebrated International Men’s Day.
This event attracted over 20 enthusiastic participants, with over 70 spectators cheering them on. Another highlight of the celebration was debate session, ‘SMAC Live – The Truman Show’.
