American Express invited Deepalaya School Kids at their office
Deepalaya, one of the largest operational NGO in Delhi, was established in 1979 and registered as a society in 1980. To accomplish our vision of building an equitable society and enabling self-reliance, we have set up several projects and programmes across Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand and U.P.
Deepalaya has been lucky for so many things and this time it’s our pleasure to share with you all that our students from Gusbethi visited to the three offices of American Express Gurugram on November 19, 2019. American Express believes that serving our communities is not only integral to running a business successfully; it is part of our individual responsibilities as citizens of the world.
The event was started with a warm welcome by the employees of American Express and followed by giving the introduction and overview about Deepalaya by our beloved Executive Director, Mrs Jaswant Kaur and principal, Dr Manoj Kumar. A detailed introduction about Deepalaya School Gusbethi was given in which he explained the work of Deepalaya Gusbethi, how they are benefitting the underprivileged people of the Mewat district in Haryana.
And then event moved ahead on different activities performed by the students as once in a year American Express invites the students to showcase their talent to the people who are unaware and our students rocked it. A skit was presented about a girl’s life; it revolved around a life, where she was disowned by her father, simply because she was a girl. Thirty years after, he is operated for cataract by his own daughter. It took thirty-odd years for a father to realize the importance of girls. That’s how Deeplaya is making a difference in the lives of many kids. The story also showcased the activities of Deepalaya and how it is bringing change in many lives while stressing on girl child education.
Other performance was on to motivate everyone present at the event, a group of boys and girls presented a dance performance on ‘Kar har maidan Fateh’.
After that, an interesting story were told by two of the students from primary and middle section of the school, what were the challenges they faced to reach here and how Deepalaya helped them to overcome from those challenges.
