Unfortunately\, many children with disabilities are often excluded from such celebratory occasions due to societal neglect and lack of access. At TSCF\, we are committed to changing this narrative by ensuring that these children with disabilities have an opportunity to experience the excitement and happiness that come with Children’s Day.\nTo make this event a success\, we seek support in the form of donations\, sponsorships\, or in-kind contributions. We plan to provide:\n• Entertainment: Clowns\, music\, dance\, games\, and fun activities tailored to the children’s abilities.\n• Refreshments: Nutritious meals\, snacks\, and drinks to keep the children energized throughout the celebration.\n• Presents: Gift packs containing toys\, educational materials.\nKindly reach out to us to make your donations.
