Children’s day in India is celebrated on November 14th which is the day that the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru was born. TEWFI organizes this programme every year in the Community as well as at Uluru Children’s Home.
This year TEWFI organized a Children’s Day Programme at the Uluru Coastal Environment Education Centre. Children from seven Villages participated. The theme chosen for the programme was “Bright futures are in your hands”. The objectives of the programme were to develop the children’s skills by helping them to understand their roles and responsibilities in society, and also to create unity and positive relationships amongst the children from different communities by encouraging them to participate in cultural activities.
Different children performed dances, gymnastic performances and songs. Games were also played and prizes and snacks were given to the participants. In total 174 children participated in the programme. It was a great success with all children gaining more knowledge of their role and place in society.
Children’s day is also observed at the Uluru Children’s Home with games and performances where each of the children celebrates their unique place as an important member of society.
