Each year, on 15^th August, India celebrates it’s national freedom from years of foreign rule. It is a day of great importance that makes us realize how truly grateful we are to walk and breathe as free citizens of our country.

Aastha Nishtha foundation strongly believes that freedom should be for all irrespective of their age, gender, caste or religion. We aim to make the children from underprivileged communities free from illiteracy, malnutrition and nurture them into heathy and happy individuals.

This Independence day we took the initiative of bringing the colours of freedom in the lives of those children who are only familiar with the colours of traffic lights while they beg on the streets to make a living.

We organized a well-planned function, ensuring the engagement of each and every child at the educational centre in Munirka. Starting with a craft session where these children decorated the flags and kites in their own unique styles, moving onto a mesmerizing dance performance given by two of the community’s talented girls in their beautiful dresses. This was followed by a power walk that featured our great freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Gandhi, Rani Laxmi Bai and Jawaharlal Nehru ji. Their famous dialogues were proudly delivered by each child who participated in the walk. Each prop used in this event was handmade, specially made with love by our ANF team.

This remarkable event came to end with the distribution of refreshments that were savoured by all the children.

We are in awe of the wonderful response that we have received from children through their active participation in this event. For this, we would like to extend our gratitude to our constant supporters and donors for helping us to make this possible.
