JOY OF SHARING
Children, sharing is important not
only for a loving and comfortable family environment but also for creating a
good society. Remember, to give something to someone, you need not rich with
money but rich by heart. Think and write down which things you have that you
can give to someone else. For this, you can build a virtue shop (ਨੇਕੀ ਦੀ ਦੁਕਾਨ) in your street/local or
the school/class with the consent of your teacher.
