Visit to the National Park

1 Small Step Foundation an NGO, which takes the pledge of doing good every week sponsored the boys of Bosco Boys Home a trip to the Sanjay Gandhi National Park on July 15. 1 Small Step is a platform that enables one to do the good, she or he always wanted to do. They do it by regularly providing compassion opportunities, one of these been a trek for our boys to the National Park.

The boys were accompanied by the staff as they enjoyed their visit to the park. They were thrilled and delighted to see lions, tigers, monkeys and other wild animals and birds so closely. For most of them, this was a first time experience of being to a zoo and it was a very enriching to see their excited faces. After the tour of the zoo, the boys refreshed themselves with snacks and cold drinks.

While returning back, the boys thanked 1 Small Step Foundation for this wonderful opportunity they gave them and promised them that they will also do a good deed every week to someone in need.
