Colorss Participates in Festival Rakhi

Colorss Foundation was honoured to spend Festival Rakhi with the staff and 5^th to 10^th grade students of Dr. Ambedkar Memorial Technical School in Pune. The festival is commonly celebrated on the full moon day on the Shravan month, which was around the first week of September.

Festival Rakhi, also known as Raksha Bandhan, means “the tie or knot of protection” in the Sanskrit language. It is commonly a festival that celebrates love and duty between a brother-sister relationship, whether relatives or biologically unrelated. During this celebration, the students celebrated their love and respect for Mother Nature by creating Rakhi (sacred thread) and tying it around a tree in the school campus.

 This festival ensured the active participation of students in order to bring them closer to Mother Nature. It also helped instilled in them the importance of Mother Nature and in protecting the environment.

Festival Rakhi was fully conducted by the school management, with no contribution from Colorss Foundation. The Foundation thoroughly appreciated the creativity and enjoyed spending time with the students and staff during this significant festival.
