Solution
Good morning everybody. I am going to speak about my birthday celebration this year. On my birthday, we decided to celebrate it in a different way, a day to remember. So we went to Mother Teresa Ashram in T.Nagar, Chennai.
First, my younger sister and I played with the children there. We distributed them ” games materials like a bat, ball, chocolates, etc. My parents decorated the hall with balloons and flowers. Then we celebrated the birthday by cutting a cake. The mother and other sisters of the orphanage gave me blessings. The children presented me with flowers to show their love.
Then, we had our lunch with them. We enjoyed there the whole day. It is our duty to help them. After coming back home, I felt a little sad about the plight of the people there. But I decided to go there and celebrate every year.
Thank you.
