For everyone who participates in the event , its an opportunity to experience the unique pleasure of running a mile with the children from underprivileged society with amazing strength and grace and try to create a niche for them in the society .  Prayas is joining hands to celebrate the event  with other children NGOs of Delhi ,Govt. and Private schools ,Corporate and other organizations who have the heart to share with the less privileged among the children.
