Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) and Pakistan Youth Forum (PYF) jointly celebrate World Children's Day at SIUT. SIUT and PYF in a joint collaboration organised an event "Spreading Smiles" exclusively for the sick children being treated at the Paediatric wards in SIUT.
The event was held to observe 'World Children's Day' as a day of world-wide fraternity and understanding between children and of activities promoting the welfare of the world's children. In all about 150 participants joyfully enjoyed the entire day's proceedings.
The staff and volunteers of SIUT and PYF tastefully decorated the wards and thoroughly entertained the young children admitted in the institute by arranging a vast array of fun filled activities. Chiefly amongst others, these included face/hands paintings on the children of multicoloured fancy designs and cartoon images, as requested by them according to their choices. Exquisite magic shows were arranged with a variety of spectacular and enthralling tricks, which really enchanted the children. A fabulous movie session featuring latest phenomenal blockbuster cartoon film 'RIO' was screened at the huge screen of Agha Hassan Abidi Auditorium much to the sheer delight of the children. To invigorate the aesthetic skills, different drawing/sketching exercises were carried out with the aid of plain/coloured pencils, crayons/paints etc. Finally, sumptuous healthy refreshments and delightful gifts were provided to all the children.
Speaking on the occasion, SIUT's Professor Dr Anwar Naqvi said on the need of investment in the children in the forms of time, quality education, good health, value building etc which shall be immensely beneficial as they are the future of the country.-PR
