‘Israel govt should for now focus only on getting hostages freed’
On November 20, which is also the World Children's Day, an Israeli woman remembers her nephew and nieces who are kidnapped and in custody of the Hamas terror group.
Children turned Radio Jockeys for a day asking questions and participating in discussions as they celebrated World Children’s Day at the SOA Community Radio here on Saturday.
The children, students of city-based Guidance English Medium School, visibly excited at such an opportunity, asked questions to panelists, discussed their experience about online and off-line classes in school, and expressed their views on subjects like meditation, healthy living, yoga, and their long stay at home as schools remained closed in the wake of the pandemic.
