 A break to monotonous style of presentation, the Angels conducted games on concepts related to Organ Donation. It was well planned that games such as fill in the blanks, jumbled words, CONNECTIONS and QUIZ were part of class presentation; students with more sporting spirit took part and answered to each questions, this also worked as a revision to the concepts.

After presentation, the students were given time to discuss and ponder over the concepts, during this session many questions were raised by the participants and teachers  and our Angels gave spontaneous and correct answers. Teacher and students expressed their views and gave suggestion for making things best.
