Regrettably, numerous children find themselves shouldering familial responsibilities at a very young age due to the harsh realities of poverty and limited access to education. Families grappling with the challenge of meeting basic needs, such as food and clothing, are often compelled to send their children to work instead of school. This significantly impacts a child across various facets of their life.<br /><br />Sonal engaged in a creative session with the children, which included glass painting to make decorative items with fairy lights. These activities not only brought smiles but also fostered a sense of shared joy and creativity. As the day concluded, delicious snacks were distributed, adding a delightful end to the Christmas festivities for the children of Udaan.<br />
