The students of Grade 4 had a class discussion on the significance of Deepawali. They were shown Youtube videos of children who work in cracker factories and the hardships they face. These videos made the students reflect on the hazards of using fire crackers for the surroundings and the health of people around them and last but not the least the children who are victims of child labour.
The students made cutouts of earthen lamps (diyas) and wrote about how they would make this festival a meaningful one.
Children will after all be children as some of them sheepishly admitted that they would be burning just a few crackers while others wrote about celebrating a green Deepawali eating sweets and spending quality time with their families.
Form all of us wish all of you a Happy and Blessed Deepawali.
