I feel privileged to be an organiser of the event,” said Sharad Kiswani.<br /><br />CIS is known for its charity drives that take place throughout the year. “We appreciate the students’ efforts to reach out to the needy through their generous donations. Social responsibility is a key facet that we, at Canadian International School Bangalore, seek to inspire in our students.<br /><br /> The idea is to imbibe the belief that it is more blissful to give than to receive. It’s really inspiring to see students stand up and celebrate as a community with many acts of giving.
