Children Home For Boys – DCPUD by clicking here – This session features ab interactive session focused on **life skills, personal development, and the importance of questioning**. The speaker engages with an audience to discuss how to approach life with curiosity, manage time, and build professional and personal foundations.

3P,s skill development session held on 23 Sep @Sneha Shakthi Sadhan – DWDD Pic in the link section – Topic – Live Every Day Like a Celebration Living as if every day is a celebration does not mean partying every day. It means recognising the value of each day and choosing to live it with gratitude, purpose and joy. – Why should we live every day like a celebration?1. Life is happening today We often wait for a big achievement, birthday, promotion or special event to be happy. But life is made up of ordinary days. Every day is an opportunity to experience something meaningful. 2. It creates gratitude When we celebrate the small things—good health, family, friends, learning, work, nature, or simply being alive—we become more aware of what we already have. 3. It changes our attitude Challenges will always be part of life. A celebration mindset does not remove our problems; it helps us face them with hope, courage and positivity. 4. Small achievements matter Completing a task, helping someone, learning something new, overcoming a fear, or making progress can all be reasons to celebrate. Success is not only about big milestones. 5. Relationships become stronger When we… Read more »
