Distribution of Gifts A small gift of stationery items was distributed to the children as a token of appreciation for their participation and enthusiasm during the activities. Parallel Sessions Conducted The program then moved into parallel sessions which included:

Health Check-up Session-A comprehensive health check-up was carried out to assess the overall health status of the students. Firstly, we conducted vital signs assessment which included measuring temperature, pulse, respiration, and BP where necessary, along with a head-to-toe general physical examination. This helped us to identify any immediate health concerns. A pediatrician was involved in examining the children for general health conditions, growth and development, and to identify any medical issues requiring further attention. We also conducted dental check-up where the students were assessed for common dental problems.

At the end of the session, a survey was compiled based on the findings. A total of 75 students participated in the health check-up: 14 students from 1st standard 24 students from 2nd standard 21 students from 3rd standard 18 students from 4th standard Out of which: 32 students were found to have dental problems like dental caries, cavities, misaligned teeth, and tooth decay 3 students had other health problems like fever, cough, and cold 1 student had a skin problem. 1 student was identified with Down syndrome. Appropriate health education and referrals were given to ensure proper follow-up and management.

Health Education Session We provided health education on balanced diet, nutrition, and personal hygiene, teaching students about the importance of daily cleanliness, proper bathing, nail care, and hand washing techniques. To make the session more engaging, we also presented an awareness video created by 5th semester students, which helped the students better understand and remember the information.

Play Therapy Session To make the program more lively, enjoyable, and interactive for the students, we conducted various games and fun activities. The children participated with great enthusiasm and energy. We conducted the ‘Nadia–Dhadda’ game, which helped in improving children’s muscle strength, coordination, and attention span. The activity kept them active and alert. Next, we organized “walking with balloon balance”, where children had to walk while balancing a balloon. This activity helped to improve their concentration, balance, and coordination, We also conducted “building pyramids using glasses.. This activity enhanced the children’s focus, patience, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving skills. Overall, these games were not only entertaining but also therapeutic, contributing to the physical fitness, mental alertness, and social interaction of the children.
Program got winded up by singing national anthem.
