The deputy head of society community society of Beacon house school systems, Banigala, Babar Jan contacted Funkor Child art Center, to do some volunteer work at Amai Park. We organized an ‘Eid Party’ for the children at Amai Park. The Beaconhouse students painted the swings and slides, and cleaned up the Park. Students from NUML also joined in. Beaconhouse students had organized juices and burgers for the children and distribution ‘EID’ gifts. They sang songs and had loads of fun. Thankyou Beaconhouse students, you were all wonderful. Ms. Rubina the Director really appreciated their work and the children were asking if you all will visit again, they really enjoyed themselves!
