The annual sports day at the Chingari Rehabilitation Centre was held this year on the 21st and 22nd of March. The children at Chingari were organised in accordance with their disabilities and age, and were helped to participate in these events by resident sports coaches Tarique Ahmed and Azam Khan.
Different sports activities took place such as athletics, wheelchair races, skipping, football, basketball, crab walking, tricycle races and bocce (a game smilar to boules) Such sports events help in raising the moral of the children and also help to integrate them into mainstream society.
The children had a great time throughout the day, and the parents made the event successful with their help and cooperation. Many of the mothers provided voluntary help to the staff by assisting with various activities and also participating in a few games themselves.
At the end of the day all of the children were very happy to receive the prizes from managing trustees of Chingari, Rashida Bee and Champa Devi Shukla. The sports coaches ensured that all of the children who regulalry come to Chingari participated in one way or another and received a prize.
