Laugh & Let Laugh – A Joyful Initiative by 16th Rover
“A Smile That Lights the World!”
Dear Scouts, Rovers, and Well-Wishers,
The 16th South Calcutta Kidderpore Academy Group is proud to announce its annual initiative, "Laugh & Let Laugh," aimed at bringing joy and happiness to the underprivileged children in our community during the festive season of Durga Puja. This year, we will once again be distributing new dresses to street children, ensuring they feel the warmth of the festival.
This is an event we hold dear to our hearts, as we work together to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who need it the most. By participating in this noble cause, we not only spread smiles but also uphold the values of compassion and community service that are at the core of scouting.
How Can You Contribute?
Donate New Dresses – Clothes that are age 8-12 appropriate and should be a new dressed. (Not too much costly)
Join Us on the Event Day – Help distribute the dresses and bring a smile to a child’s face.
Volunteer – Your time and effort are invaluable in making this event a success.
Event Details:
Date: 21st September 2025
Time: To be updated soon
Venue: Details to be shared in due course
This event is held annually, and we encourage everyone to actively participate and make a difference. As scouts and rovers, our mission is to always serve and uplift those in need, and there is no better occasion than Durga Puja to do so.
We look forward to your enthusiastic participation and support! Let’s join hands and make this festival brighter for the children in need.
Let’s Laugh & Let Others Laugh!
Together, we can light up their world!
