This was the second year that Concern India Foundation organized the Khel Khel Main Athletic Competition for children. The event, which lasted all day, was held on 27 November and it included about 50 NGOs and more than 1,500 children. On this occasion, Asha-Kiran participated with a team of 20 children from its Projects – 8 from Yashodhara and 6 from each of the Day Care Centers. To prepare for the event, all the children rehearsed almost 2 weeks for the parade and anthem of the opening ceremony. The sports section of the competition included a relay race and races of different distances. The games section included not only children but also coordinators and volunteers.
Gold, silver and bronze trophies were awarded to the winners, and all competitors received a participation certificate.Asha-Kiran’s children won 6 gold, silver and bronze awards and Krishna, a boy from Yashodhara, also won a trophy to the best athlete, since he got three different medals.
At the end of the day, the children were as exhausted as they had previously been eager to participate. They had loads of fun and look forward to participating again next year.
