A Wide Range of Donated Items: Supporting Daily Life and Recreation
During the event, a variety of essential supplies were donated to improve both the children's daily living and extracurricular conditions. The donations included:
- Food items, such as 100 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of lentils, 10 litres of cooking oil, and instant noodles, ensuring the children received adequate nutrition.

- Snacks, such as biscuits, rusks, crisps, and cakes, provided a delightful treat, adding an extra touch of joy to their day.
These donations not only met the children's daily needs but also offered them opportunities for recreational activities, contributing to their personal growth and overall well-being.

Volunteers: Warming Hearts Through Selfless Efforts
The event saw active participation from 16 volunteers from SIM Studio, all of whom played an integral role in ensuring the day's success. Volunteers including Dhanaseelan, Hilda Dhanaseelan, Antony Innocent, Jayasuriyan, Sheela Jayasuriyan, Dharmaraj, Muniraju, Sakthi Raja, Revathi, Narayan, Sathya, Arul, Ashwanth, Ragu, Theodore, and Syed not only distributed the donated items but also interacted closely with the children, making sure they felt the love and care from every participant.
Event organiser Dhanaseelan commented, "Seeing the children actively participate in the activities and enjoy the interactions with volunteers was incredibly moving. Through our efforts, we have been able to bring about some positive changes in their lives, and that fills me with immense pride."
Joyful Activities: Laughter is the Best Reward
In addition to the donations, the event featured a variety of engaging activities designed to bring joy and excitement to the children. Activities included:
* Sports games such as throw ball, badminton, and skipping, where the children showcased their athletic talents with the encouragement of volunteers.
* Entertainment and interactive games, where the children could release their energy and enjoy themselves, creating an atmosphere filled with laughter.
These activities not only fostered teamwork and a healthy sense of competition but also brought about emotional satisfaction and relaxation. The interactions between the volunteers and children created a sense of belonging and trust, further boosting the children's self-confidence and social skills.
Gratitude from the Children and the Home
C. Sam G, the manager of BESSO Children's Home, expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the generous donations from IYDF and SIM Studio: "These supplies are crucial for the children, especially the food and hygiene items, which provide much-needed support. The children are particularly thankful for the presence of the volunteers, who brought not just materials, but love and warmth."
Long-Term Impact of the Charitable Initiative
This event did more than just provide material support for the 40 children at BESSO Children's Home--it also instilled a sense of hope and confidence through social and recreational activities. The collaboration between IYDF and SIM Studio created a safe and joyful environment, helping the children find hope even in difficult circumstances.
Looking ahead, IYDF plans to collaborate with more businesses and organisations to conduct similar charitable events, ensuring that more children in need receive essential resources and support.
Conclusion: Action Brings Change, and Love Fuels Hope
The success of this event lies not only in the provision of living and recreational support to the 40 children but also in the joyful experiences shared with the volunteers. The organiser Dhanaseelan and his team, through their dedication and compassion, made a significant difference in the lives of these children--perhaps for the day, and possibly for their future.
As one of the volunteers expressed: "The children's smiles are our greatest reward. Knowing that we were able to make a difference through this event is the greatest honour."
