Mangalore, Feb 1: The ‘Children’s Festival-2009’ was  inaugurated at Rosario Hall, on Sunday February 1 by  Hilda Rayappan, director, Prajna  Counseling Centre.

The festival has been jointly organized on the theme ‘To build a child-friendly society’, by Prajna  Counseling  Centre, St Joseph’s seminary,  and the children’s  welfare committee.



















“Most children hesitate or fear to say what they want.  So, this festival is to help them express their wants and dislikes”, said Hilda Rayappan. 

A group discussion has also been organized for children as part of the festival.

A  resolution  will  be  prepared  based  on their opinions and  it will be given  to  the deputy  commissioner (DC)  of  the district to  implement  it  in schools, so as to make children good citizens, said Hilda.

There are 40 groups of children from various schools in the district, participating in this festival. An exhibition of paintings has also been arranged here. The children also participated in various skill games conducted by resource persons.

    I join scores of other people in Mangalore and other places in congratulating the organizers of the CHILD FRIENDlY CULTURE in Mangalore. Indeed this is the need of the day. We have to ensure that today's children imbibe self confidence and the meetings of this type will surely have the desired effect. It is my hope that The D.C. will make a note of this effort and try and get various schools to introduce such meetings. Joe Gonsalves
