RACUOCFMF shared famous places in Sri Lanka and RCMHV shared about the cultural diversity and national symbols of India. Meanwhile, an ice-breaking session was conducted by RCMHV, where the participants introduced themselves in their own mother language and finally a solo song performance was lined up by one of our very own Rotaract member. This session was an informative and interactive session for all the participants.

The second phase of Joy 2.0 was conducted as a joint project conducted at Shilpa Children Development Centre on 13th February 2023. With the intention of spreading love, joy, and kindness for the 15 girls at the orphanage, the day was lined up with many exciting games and performances by the children at the orphanage. To make their day even more special we gifted them chocolates, scrunchies, stationery items, and snacks. We were wholeheartedly delighted to see the happiness on the faces of the children and satisfied with making the project memorable and meaningful.
