INTERACT CLUB HOSTS COMPASSIONATE CITIZEN SESSION
On January 7th, 2025, the Rotary Club of Bombay, in collaboration with PETA India, conducted a Compassionate Citizen session for the students of Sir J.J. Girls’ High School. The event, organised by Miss Waheeda Shaikh, took place in the school’s AV Room and engaged 120 students from Classes 5 and 6 in an inspiring and thought-provoking experience.
Miss Pooja Mahajan, Director of Education at PETA India, led the session, focusing on fostering empathy and compassion towards animals. The highlight of the event was a 23-minute video featuring captivating animal footage, heartwarming stories, and child-friendly analogies that emphasised the shared experiences of humans and animals. Narrated by children, the video resonated deeply with the young audience, making it relatable and impactful.
Interactive activities complemented the video, encouraging students to reflect on the values of compassion and kindness in their interactions with animals and one another. These activities fostered a sense of responsibility and empathy, leaving a lasting impression on the participants.
The session concluded with memorable photographs capturing the event’s energy and enthusiasm, followed by a heartfelt vote of thanks delivered by Miss Waheeda Shaikh.
By inspiring young minds to embrace compassion, the Compassionate Citizen session marked a meaningful step towards a kinder and more empathetic future. It was a proud moment for the InterAct Club of Sir J.J. Girls’ High School and a testament to the power of education in driving positive change.
