6/6 Sumita Roy, communications officer IICP, noted that there is no better way to end the term than with a Christmas party. “It is important that all children and adults participate on a happy note because they have achieved much. Every single achievement and every little mark of progress is a cause for celebration. We should celebrate every day but this is a nice way to end the year. The entire point of the party is enjoyment because a lot of our children are non-verbal but they can still enact and emote with their eyes. We want to make them feel as much a part of us and the society,” she said
