Toys are our
childhood treasures. We played with them, learned with them even lived with
them. Rich toys make the childhood memories colorful. There are kids out there
who are deprived of this basic privilege. Shouldn’t we help them out? Yes, we
started our day in that note and participated in the toy sorting event.
It was a sunny day and people gathered around 10’0 clock in
the morning. Shruti from TOYBANK had presided the gathering. She helped us to
form multiple groups with group of 4 each. She gave the instructions of what we
were supposed to do to fulfill the dreams of those kids. All the required toys
were gathered before we reached the place. Those toys were donated ones and
various other charities had helped in gathering them. We had to sort the toys
and pick the ones which almost look new. We had to throw the ones which were
not usable and separate the toys which needed to washed and cleaned. The
intention of the TOYBANK is truly appreciable. They make sure that those
children get the best new possible toys so that they wouldn’t feel low.
The
activity was initially bit cumbersome since we were confused which one to
choose, which one to throw. Shruti was of huge help which made our day easier.
We eventually got hold of it and sorted out the toys. Some of us showed
interest in packing, some in checking and some helped in manual works which was
good to see. Comparing with your monotonous work Meeting new people, engaging
in new activities and above all that nostalgic feeling of the toys gave us
different experience.
There were totally 9 teams. We approximately packed 70 toys. We spent around 3
hours. We finally ended our day with yummy lunch. Both of our hearts and
tummies filled up. We had a group photo before we left for the day and it would
be one of the reminder of our memorable day in our life.
