Carnivals and Experiments

Universal Children’s Day 2015:

This year on the Universal Children’s Day 2015, thousands of volunteers of Volunteer for Bangladesh, the youth wing of JAAGO Foundation participated in our Universal Children’s Day campaign to advocate children’s education rights. Supporting UN’s main Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), GOAL4: ‘Quality Education 4 All’, the day long campaign was carried out. On this day our volunteers stepped into the shoes of street children while they can enjoy a day full of fun. The volunteers had spread the message of quality education for a better life among the Bangladeshi masses. The street children were taken to carnivals and various amusement parks to live a day from the childhood they never had. Volunteers took the street kids to the carnival so that they could enjoy to the fullest.

The carnivals were placed in 32 districts across Bangladesh, where volunteers brought the street kids from all the traffic signal points to the carnival. Then the kids had breakfast and wore new clothes of yellow. After that, all the kids went through a thorough medical checkup. Later the children had fun where they got to see the bioscope, hop on to Nagordola, ride on the Merry Go Round and many other fun-filled rides. With more to their entertainment, they watched amusing puppet shows, educational cartoons and theatrical performances. Furthermore, the kids got a chance to draw their colorful dreams on t-shirts. On top of that, kids participated in various sports and fashion shows. Afterwards, children had their lunch and continued their fun again till the afternoon. Overall, it was a day fully dedicated to all the children around us. Heartiest thanks to all our supporters who made the day successful.
