Springdales School Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi reaches out to Turkey, Syria
Young Springdalians are all set to reach out, share and show that they care. In keeping with their school’s motto, “Vasudhev Kutumbkam”, the Springalians sent aid to the earthquake victims of Turkey and Syria.
The devastating earthquake and the enormous loss of lives and livelihoods left a deep impact on young Springdalians and the Interact Club of the school, motivating them to swing into action to launch a donation drive in coordination with the Embassies of Turkey and Syria in New Delhi.
