We don't have the option of choosing our family, but we certainly can
choose our friends. Friends reflect our personality, and friendships keep us on
track during the tough and trying moments of our life.
Friendship Day is observed on the
first Sunday of August each year. Volunteers came forward in large numbers to meet the
under privileged youth, and offer their hand of friendship to them.
When
asked, what made them come here to celebrate Friendship Day with the lesser privileged,
when they could have chosen any other place to spend their time with friends, a
volunteer said, "One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is
to understand and to be understood. We want to tell these boys that we care, we
love them."
The volunteers interacted with the
boys and made them realise that there is someone who cares for them. They even
taught the boys how to make friendship bands, and organised various friendship
games for them.
At the end of each game, the
volunteers would make the boys sit in groups, hold each other's hand and repeat
the words, "We are best friends forever!"
