In Buterla and Badheri, the UBA Cell team organised ‘Ripples in the Fun Pond’ for the students of the Government Schools wherein volunteers of the UBA team donated toys, games and stationery items, and played with the school students. The students understood the importance of games as an integral part of honing their cognitive skills and academic learning in a holistic manner.

During the donation drive in Attawa village, the student volunteers of the UBA team donated crayons, colouring books, notebooks, pencils and other stationery items to the students of the village anganwadi and also played with them.

The little children were overjoyed to receive the stationery items.
