WORLD WATER DAY INITIATIVE

International World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.

An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.

Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater. On this page, we present a brief overview of the different themes that have been the focus of World Water Day celebrations.

and many more....

THIS YEAR 2010 IS DEDICATED TO "CLEAN WATER FOR A HEALTHIER WORLD"

HAPPY NEW YEAR..!

The eve of New Year is all about celebration, about partying, about happiness and joy, family and friends. But to Samsthapana, it is this new year was very much more than just them. To the team, it was the best day so far. There were just smiles all the way through out the day. It was all a special day for Samsthapana. The New year was celebrated at NIRMAL SISHU BHAVAN- A HOME FOR ABANDONED AND DESTITUTE CHILDREN  in vijayawada. It is a home for many destitute physically and mentally challenged children .

We had a great time with those little children who just knew about a smile and nothing else. We also got a New year cake for the children along with the morning's breakfast and sweets. The happiness that we experienced to see on the every child’s face made our day. The children were all very happy and so were we. The cake added to their happiness the sweetness of it to make a sweet day too. All the time we spent there was a great one.

We took along with us some plastic balloons and balls, Children enjoyed and played with them for a long time, Sandeep was also greatly involved in playing with the kids.

It was Sandeep nd Ujwal  had a great time with the kids in playing with them, Sohini and Santhoshi served the cake for them. Dheeraj and others were touched by the innocence and disabilities of the kids. Dheeraj became a bit emotional for the mentally challenged kids over there of course unseen by our other friends. Bhargav by chance took some blessings from father and we made the two active kids cut the cake.....everyone were on the top of the world.

 

Amidst all these, there is something that needs a special mention. There is a boy there, who never left Sandeep all through the day, and  he was studying UKG, but have no funding to study further. so as part of Samsthapana's activities we decided to fund the pretty looking kid.

Thanks to Nirmal Sishu Bhavan management for having welcomed us into that paradise of smiles which we have forgotten long back due to our busy schedules….!!!

THANK YOU NIRMAL SISHU BHAVAN FOR MAKING OUR NEW YEAR BEGIN IN A SPL WAY….

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS….!!!
