JBF Celebrated World Animal Day in New Delhi:

 

JBF celebrated World Animal Day with two different activities. JBF(INDIA), the

animal welfare wing of JBF that runs Mobile Cattle Clinic in New Delhi & Mobile

Animal Clinic at Guwahati celebrated the occasion along with JBF Welfare

Organization that runs Informal schools for the children from Slum & Street.

 

A painting competition on animals was organized at the JBF Informal School,

Viklang Basti, Near Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi premises among the

children from the Viklang Basti and about 50 children participated in the

competition. The paintings were of different animals ranging from Elephant to

Mongoose. Some of the paintings were so creative and artistic that it was beyond

imagination and it really proves that if we put them into action as the saying

goes that only the action of just can blossom in the dust, they will really

blossom. Prizes for the Best three will be awarded in the next celebration at

the school and JBF decided to put some extra initiative for the exceptionally

talented children.

 

Then the another event: After completion of the painting competition, JBF team

lead by Dr. Sashanka, Managing Trustee of JBF(INDIA) with 30 volunteered

children started a procession from the school. There were banners, Placards,

Mask of animals on the face and also a Dhol (a double-sided barrel drum) to

attract people. The placards were with the slogans like Start Working for Animal

Welfare, Stop Cruelty to animals, Be Kind to Animals, Provide Food, Water to

animals in need etc etc. Mask of different animals like Dog, tiger, wolf etc

were worn by the children. The Dhol made the procession more lively and the

passer by was enjoying the procession and reading the placards. Many people

asked questions about the World Animal Day and JBF team made them understand.

The procession that started at School went through a busy market to the Gate of

India Habitat Centre at Lodhi Road and then on the way to the Sai Temple, one of

the famous temples in the South Delhi and then back to

the School near Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. As it was Thursday the gathering at

Sai temple was huge and JBF feels that it helped to pass the message about the

animal welfare to a large group of people from different field. Leaflets were

distributed to people during the procession that will help them to be in touch

with JBF whenever they see a suffering animal. After completion of a nearly two

hours procession the children were provided some snacks & a small gift. The

children were too enthusiastic and happy to be a part of the procession and JBF

as a whole are quite positive that the procession will create awareness among

the people & help the animals for their better life.
