India Children Day

On the 14th of November is celebrated by Indians as a Children Day, because for Nehru Jawaharlal birthday. 

 From Wikipedia: Jawaharlal Nehru was a passionate advocate of education for India's children and youth, believing it essential for India's future progress. His government oversaw the establishment of many institutions of higher learning, including the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, the Indian Institutes of Technology, the Indian Institutes of Management and the National Institutes of Technology. Nehru also outlined a commitment in his five-year plans to guarantee free and compulsory primary education to all of India's children. For this purpose, Nehru oversaw the creation of mass village enrolment programmes and the construction of thousands of schools. Nehru also launched initiatives such as the provision of free milk and meals to children in order to fight malnutrition. Adult education centres, vocational and technical schools were also organised for adults, especially in the rural areas
 
With the help of friends as volunteers of sponsoring the event, our children enjoyed the day, with snacks, lunch, gifts, games, magic show, and rides. Simple celebration but enjoyable one for the children. Thanks to all who helped make it fun and memorable.
