SK Vision Celebrates World NGO Day 2024:
SK Vision made an effort to raise awareness about World NGO Day. Through its work, our organization helps people fulfill their social responsibilities. This year, on this day, our organization addressed one of its main goals: helping people overcome addiction.
On World NGO Day, the organization organized an event for the patients at Vikalp Rehab Institute in Dilshad Garden. A competition was held among the patients.
In this competition, music was played and a ball was passed to each person in turn. As soon as the music stopped, the person with the ball in their hand had to come forward and draw a chit from the bowl, which had the name of one of their friends present there.
They had to tell something about the friend whose name appeared on the chit. Then, the person with the chit’s name had to come forward and perform any activity of their choice, such as dance or music.
In the end, the person with the best performance was awarded a bag as a prize. Additionally, a ball was distributed to each participant, and the event concluded with the organization distributing food and drinks to everyone.
