Spread Smile Foundation (regd.) organized its first-anniversary celebration on 2nd February 2020. SSF completed its 1 year in working for underprivileged sections of society, mainly, children. We completed 1 year of project विद्याफल under which pathshala are opened for underprivileged children and they are taught the school syllabi and along with it basic manners like sanitation, punctuality, regularity, honesty, sharing and caring are taught. 1st year was full of beautiful and learning memories.





Their transition from kids who were caught in shackles of begging and rag-picking to regular school going kids and their journey of coming to pathshala daily is our real fruit. So, this function was the result of all the hard work and efforts put up by these children and the members who defined this 1 year as a successful year. Children from all three locations participated in the function. The function was full of dances, songs acts, and definitely entertaining. Around 700 guests were present during the function.





The Chief Guest of function was Smt. Kavita Jain (Ex-Cabinet Minister of Haryana), directors and principles of many colleges and school, many NGO’s who are also working for the people, and some eminent personalities of Sonipat, also graced the event.





The function started with lamp lighting which symbolizes the start of the function by the guests and senior members of the foundation. This was followed by Saraswati Vandana which gave positive vibes and blessings to all the people present there. Then there was a prayer by young children from all the locations. It was followed by Ganesh Vandana by Sector 15 Gurudwara location girls and this charged all of us for more. Then a Bhangra dance was performed and this made all of us groove on our seats. And we knew if the start is this entertaining, how the whole function will unfold. After this dance by Gad Gaon, location children was performed and their theme was आओ स्कूल चलें हम and this filled all of us with the hope of a better future of our foundation children.





This was succeeded by an act on the theme- Side Effects of Mobile Phones. This act was knowledgeable and somewhere made all of us realize about the present situation of our lives.
