Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 15:<\/strong> \u00a0Meher Roshani Foundation SaathSHALA Mumbai celebrated Raksha Bandhan with its children through a meaningful program that recognised the security officers and staff who play critical roles in ensuring their safety and well-being. The event emphasised the spirit of protection, respect, and thankfulness, while encouraging children to identify and appreciate those who work every day to create a secure and loving environment for them.<\/p>\n

As part of the celebrations, the children made Rakhis as a creative activity centred around Swa-Raksha, \u00a0self-defence and respect,\u00a0along with our goodwill volunteer, Ms Dilkhush. The activity encouraged the children to reflect on the meaning of Raksha Bandhan and the bonds of care, protection and responsibility that the festival represents. The Rakhis made by the children became a special part of the celebrations.<\/p>\n

This ceremony\u00a0gave\u00a0an expanded message of protection to life, as the children tied Rakhis to the security personnel, staff and each other, with a sense of commitment to protect, respect and care for one another and everyone around them.<\/p>\n

We often overlook the people who keep our children, schools, and the places they gather safe. Those kids giving them a simple thank you was\u00a0just\u00a0an expression of gratitude and recognition for their contribution and the important role they play every day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The initiative also provided an opportunity to reinforce the value of dignity of labour among children, helping them understand that every role has importance and that those who serve and protect our communities deserve respect, appreciation and recognition.<\/p>\n

The spirit of protection also extended naturally to the children\u2019s understanding of their teachers. Teachers are entrusted with much more than education; they help protect, guide and prepare children for life. The celebration therefore served as a positive reminder that protecting children is a shared responsibility,\u00a0and that\u00a0preparing them with the knowledge, confidence and values they need is an important part of that responsibility.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The Raksha Bandhan celebrations brought together creativity, appreciation and fun, with Rakhi-making, the Rakhi-tying ceremony and the Foundation\u2019s monthly birthday celebrations forming part of the day\u2019s festivities. The children were provided their daily routine food along with special snacks for the occasion and yummy cakebakes, adding to the joy of the celebrations.<\/p>\n

Roshani Shenazz, Founder, Managing Trustee, Chairperson & CEO, Meher Roshani Foundation, said: \u201cAt its heart, the celebration conveyed a simple message: protection takes many forms, and those who protect and care for our children deserve to be recognised. It is also about reminding them of their own commitment and accountability towards the God-given role of being protectors and nurturers for children.\u201d<\/p>\n
