At the event, various activities such as martial arts, hop race, three leg race, relay race, basketball, gymnastics, tug of war, and many more were conducted.
While in conversation with Dr.Jayant Gandhi, founder of JOSH foundation he said, "We have specially arranged this fest to uplift the lives of these impaired children and make them feel 'included.' Josh foundation is helping these budding kids by providing hearing aids. These kids are not dumb, infact they are reaching great heights in field of architecture, web designing, etc."
Devangi Dalal, co-founder of Josh foundation said, "Hearing is very important for communication and this importance of hearing we need to learn from hearing-impaired children. Keep the volume down, use earplugs in noisy surroundings, limit the time spent in noisy surroundings, use smartphones apps to monitor your voice levels and get regular hearing check ups. There are the 5 parameters highlighted by the WHO on this World Hearing Day."
