HSBC jointly with Green Disabled Foundation (GDF), Sylhet organized a day-out program at Dreamland Amusement Park, Hilalpur, Sylhet recently.
The objective of this outing was to spend time with these underprivileged children who often do not get chances to enjoy such recreational events. 23 Staff of HSBC Sylhet and the visually impaired children and differently abled people of the foundation along with a few staff of GDF participated in this daylong event.
The journey started at 11:00am from the GDF foundation in Amberkhana. Upon reaching the spot, HSBC staff guided and accompanied the children by to various joy rides. Staff also provided descriptions of the ride features and nature of the ride to the children. Lunch was then served lunch after which many of the children took a walk throughout the park where they conversed with the staff about their lives, hopes and dreams. This was a very enlightening experience for the staff.
A cultural event followed afterwards where some of the children and HSBC staff presented songs from all genres - Jari, Bhatiali to present day Habib, LRB. The program ended with prize distribution amongst the children and others.
HSBC staff were responsible for guiding all the children from the beginning of the journey till departure at day-end. The children were immensely happy while on the way back home since this was the first ever experience of this kind to them.
