During the event, the organisers provided a variety of essential items, ensuring the children’s basic needs were met. These included food supplies like rice and cooking oil, which helped address their nutritional requirements. Personal hygiene items such as soap for bathing and laundry, along with Colgate toothpaste and toothbrushes, were distributed to encourage good hygiene habits and disease prevention. To support their education, school supplies such as backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils, markers, crayons, and rulers were also provided, helping to ease the financial burden on their families.
In addition to academic support, sports equipment such as cricket bats, balls, badminton sets, skipping ropes, and board games like Ludo and chess were donated.
