It was Aru’s 29th birthday on the 21st Of November this year.
It is also a year since we started our ‘Safety Ambassadors’ program with the students of Shishu Mandir School.
Safety should begin at home and what best way than keeping our homes secure from fire incidents ? Shishu Mandir is not just a school, but a home to hundreds of students. So this year, we presented Shishu Mandir School, five fire extinguishers to supplement a couple that they had.
Going to Shishu Mandir is something that makes us feel warm and positive. The enthusiasm of these children to learn is amazing ! The dedication and energy of the teachers is so heart warming.
Usha Armour, the company that supplied the fire extinguishers also arranged a safety demonstration and taught the students, some teachers and other members of the staff including the kitchen staff how to use the fire extinguishers to fight fire. We want to take this opportunity to thank Mr Sachin Suvarna and Mr Suresh for taking a special interest in all the arrangements.
Here is an appeal to all our friends and family members.
Most of us spend thousands, sometimes lakhs on decorating our houses and it’s interiors. Spending a few thousands on buying fire extinguishers is really a small matter. Especially, since life is precious. Do buy one for your house and check the availability of fire extinguishers at your work place. Also , most parents check about the academic achievements of the institutions they send their children to. How about checking for disaster preparation? We hear and see so many lives being lost in fire accidents. How soon do we forget how hospitals, hotels, coaching classes and schools that have been reduced to cinders? And the lives lost in these accidents ?
Please Think !
Please Act !
Regret is an useless emotion !
