And so is the story of the preparations for donating winter wear. However, every action has some ideology behind it. And here, the main ideology was that the kids must not accept anything for which they never put any effort, that they should not accept donations. The idea is that they should not live at mercy of people around them- they should learn to earn their living, and it is one of our goals that we develop such an attitude in them.
We initially decided that one weekend when we go to the kids, we just hold a small painting competition for the kids and give away the clothes as prizes. But then many kids would have been left. After many vague (and probably senseless) suggestions, mostly by me, and a two hour long argument, we decided that we would spread the word among kids about the painting competition one day, and then, the next day, we shall have it, so that we see maximum participation.
The way we arrived at was probably the best possible at the time- however, it was not good enough.
