CII Yi XlRI participated in the celebration of the annual Women’s Day on 8th March 2014 by organising a fundraiser and an event for the women workers of XlRI. The Yi members collected contributions from students to involve them in giving back to the women who take care of the campus and their stay here.
XlRI students yet again demonstrated their generosity like never before contributing Rs12,000 for the event which helped in conducting a full-fledged event for the workers with numerous fun activities to appreciate them for their constant efforts and hard work towards making XlRI a beautiful and comfortable place.
The events of the day started off by organising a half working day for all of the working women in XlRI and gathering them in the event location. To understand them better, the students played a game of passing the parcel along and asked workers to introduce themselves as well as their likes and dislikes.
The day proceeded with a game of musical chairs which the women really enjoyed. It was heartwarming to see them smile and laugh as they could get away from the work and family related responsibilities. They enjoyed listening to their favorite songs and placed requests for other musical numbers as well. The event ended with a round of antakshri wherein the gleefully indulged in singing Bollywood songs along with their colleagues and girls from XlRI.
