JOKES OF THE DAY

Story on

The Fruit of a Child's Labour

After his release from the Aga Khan Palace, Gandhi had gone to Juhu, a suburb of Bombay

city, for rest. Gandhiji would not therefore see anyone as a rule. One day, a boy aged 10

or 12 years came to see Gandhi. He was carrying in his hand fruit worth about two or

three rupees. He insisted on handing over the fruit to Gandhi. One could explain things to

adults, but how can it be done in the case of children?

Sarojini Naidu was standing nearby. She smilingly took the boy to Gandhi. The boy placed

the fruit at the feet of Gandhi and stood there. He had nothing to say, but his desire was

that Bapu should eat the fruit he had brought. Gandhi's companions were talking among

themselves about it. Some one said he was probably a beggar. The boy's self-respect was

badly hurt when he heard this. He said at once, "No Mahatmaji, I'm not a beggar. I bought

this fruit out of the money earned with my labour."

Gandhi's heart was touched by the boy's words which expressed his sense of self-respect.

He used to receive baskets of fruits from wealthy friends. But the boy's present was price-

less because, it had behind it a child's devotion and hard work. How could he ignore such a

present? Gandhi picked up a fruit and placed it before the boy and said, "Take child, you

eat first the fruit of your labour."

The boy replied, "No, Mahatmaji, I would have the satisfaction of having eaten when you

eat it." He went away after reverently saluting Gandhi.

The child had certainly earned self-respect by his labour. But do you think he missed out on

anything in life?

You can't regulate child labour. You

can't regulate slavery. Some things are

just wrong.

THOUGHT ON CHILD LABOUR

3

Child Labour Day We the students of JSSPS(KG- grd.11), who were interested in

donating money to the Child Labour, wore different coloured

dress on this day!. Even though, we liked the day with colour

dress, we wore it just for one reason which is to CELEBRATE

THE WORLD DAY AGAINST CHILD LABOUR!. We donated

Dhs.10 and even more!. Child labour refers to the employment of chil-

dren in any work that deprives children of their childhood, interferes with

their ability to attend regular school, and that is mentally, physically, socially

or morally dangerous and harmful.

Before 1940, numerous children aged 5–14 worked in Europe, the United

States and various colonies of European powers.

These children worked in agriculture, home-based assembly operations,

factories, mining and in services such as strike. Some worked night shifts

lasting 12 hours. With the rise of household income, availability of schools

and passage of child labour laws, the incidence rates of child labour fell.

It was the assembly of 6 "C". We conducted our class assembly on 9th June '2014 at our Auditorium. The theme of the assembly was "Our Environment". students of 6th C put up an excellent show on the theme. The students started the as-sembly with the Prayer followed by News, thought for the day and a play on Save Environment. The play comprised different messages to save environment. The show was enjoyed by the audience. At the end of assembly one of our classmates pro-posed the vote of thanks. After the show Ms . Anupama, congratulated the class and ap-preciated the effort put in by the students and class teacher.

Class 6 D’s assembly was truly inspiring! With

a whole lot of hard work put in by the class and

their teacher, they seriously rocked on the

stage. The topic they chose for their assembly

was the people who inspired the world. They

talked about 7 people who inspired the world -

Edmund Hillary, Oprah Winfrey, Nick Vujicic,

Rakesh Sharma, Lionel Messi, Derek Redmond

ASSEMBLY REPORT OF 6D

ASSEMBLY REPORT OF 6E

Grade 6E conducted an assembly on FIFA world cup..

The presentation on the history of FIFA and the legendary

players of FIFA was very informative.

The inspirational FIFA waving flag song performed by the entire

class and the dance on FIFA performed by the girls of 6E kept

the audience enthralled.

We sincerely thank our vice principal sir and supervisor

ma’am for giving us an opportunity to present the current

FIFA theme.
