Aarohan Story Competition

Following our recent initiatives on Pancake Day and World Water Day, to further raise "Aarohan awareness" among CDL students, the CDL Primary Charity Committee is, together with CDL Primary School, launching a story competition for grades 1-5.

The competition, which will be kicked off at the grade-wide assemblies, starting on April 26th, will ask the students to either draw or write their idea of a day in the life of a child at Aarohan.

The author Ian Whybrow, who visited CDL recently, has agreed to judge the competition.

The competition is drafted to fit with the level of each grade. There is an English and a French version of the competition. This is what the competition for Grade 1 looks like:



At CDL we are helping children like you, but living far away. They live in small houses with dirty water and not much to eat. They have to work to earn money. Before Aarohan helped them, they were not going to school. They did not learn to read and write and do maths like you. Now they go to school. Every day after school they go to Aarohan to get help with homework and something to eat.

We want more children to get help from Aarohan. Will you help us to help Aarohan?

First, with your Mum and Dad, read more about how CDL is helping Aarohan on www.cdlaarohan.blogspot.com

Then draw a picture of how you imagine a day for an Aarohan child. In your drawing should be:

1. The name “Aarohan”
2. A child
3. A book
4. A sun

Give your drawing to your teacher by the 20th May, 2011. If your picture is among the winners, it will be published.

In this way you help more people get to know about Aarohan!

We are hoping with the help of the competition to get a lot more chidren at CDL and their parents thinking about Aarohan and how we can all help.
