Project Ankur: Celebration of Rakshabandhan and Independence Day

As part of Project Ankur, United Way Mumbai organised a celebration of Independence Day and Rakshabandhan, where children and their parents made tri-coloured Rakhis out of recycled yarn and cardboard. As with all celebrations, the children had the opportunity to socialise with each other. This year, they worked on the theme of friendship which saw the children tie rakhis to each other. As both Raksha Bandhan and Independence Day fell on August 15th, the children were also informed about the significance of the date and sang the national anthem.
