∙ Distributes gifts and goodies among the children of labor working at Prateek Grand City
Ghaziabad, December 27, 2016: Prateek Group celebrated Christmas with the kids of labor working at their project under the banner of Prateek Foundation 'Aakaar' at Prateek Grand City in Siddharth Vihar, next to Indirapuram, NH - 24, Ghaziabad. Around 100 children joined the Group's Chairman Mr. Prashant Tiwari in the celebrations and enjoyed the gifts given to them.
"We felt the need to bring smiles on the faces of these children who are by fate underprivileged. It was an effort to bring home the point that celebrations are incomplete if everyone is not included in the happiness. Our philosophy is Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and it is with this spirit that we called these kids and distributed gifts along with the necessary sweets to sweeten the overall atmosphere," says Mr. Tiwari.
Arrangements were made to make kids enjoy the festive mood with rides and numerous games that brought out the camaraderie.
