Serilingampally: Moved by the performance of students of The Gaudium School at its Kollur campus on Wednesday, Miss World Australia, Esma Voloder said, “These kids inspired me, they showed compassion and empathy for the deprived.
This is a highlight of my stay in Hyderabad. I never saw such a large group of children demonstrating on an issue of child rights anywhere in Australia and we can borrow a leaf from these kids and imbibe.”
The beauty pageant winner was in the city as part of her tour to create emphasis on child rights. “Every child has a right to decent life and each one of us has to work towards helping those in world who don't have same opportunities,” she said.
The talk was hosted by the school in which Dr Satish Sikha, Global Advisor & Philanthropist; K Kirthi Reddy, Director, The Gaudium School; Sudhakar Reddy, Admin Head and Hema Surapaneni, Principal, The Gaudium School were present.
“We have Esma here to interact with the children, make them aware of their rights so that they gain inspiration from her work. We believe children should be conversant with their rights to grow into well-rounded individuals and to claim their rightful place as global citizens. This talk is a part of our endeavour to equip our students to face the challenges typical to this generation of Millennials,” said Kirthi.
Earlier, the students performed a mime act that spread awareness to take responsibility of at least one child who is deprived of basic needs.
Commenting on the act, Esma said, “I am moved by the skit presented by the children. There is a need to make every child smile, feel happy and healthy, wherever they are. At such a young age, your message is so profound and when you grow up into adults you can positively impact the society. If India is going to be in the hands such understanding young people, the nation's future is bright.”
Following this the students of Gaudium interacted with her along with sixty others from government primary school of Borbatla. This gave the students a picture of the issue of child rights from a global perspective.
The school donated a sum of Rs 40,000, which was collected as the Gecko fund during the Farmer’s Market through the sale of handmade artifacts by the students, to Voloder as a support to her contributions as a child rights activist globally.
