the rules and distributing the papers. „Ori‟ means folding and „gami‟ means paper. Thus origami means making

something by folding a sheet of paper.

As soon as the competition started the little fingers got busy in making something unique out of their

imaginations. Somebody made a flower that had the fragrance of innocence, somebody made a robust boat that

could sail faster than Titanic and some made aeroplanes that could not only fly to long distances but also land

safely on the ground. Out of hundreds of such articles prepared on the spot, three were selected as the best ones

and were given ITS Coffee Mugs as prizes. The day had one more pleasant surprise for the slum children.

the tiny tots. The slum children and their parents were overjoyed to have these goodies. This is worth a mention

here that Parivartan does not request or expect any such donation from anybody as all the expenses are fully

borne by I.T.S. – The Education Group but if somebody is not personally able to visit slums and wishes to use

Parivartan as a channel to convey something to the slum children, Parivartan facilitates.
