The chief guest started off by telling us the main purpose of the programme, which was to collect enough donations to conduct heart surgeries for the under privileged. He also added that nowadays most people are dying due to heart diseases rather than a natural death and explained to us the importance of taking care of ourselves. Next was a power point presentation through which he educated us in choosing a balanced diet to lead a happy life. It was a very informative session where in we learnt about the food pyramid and how much amount of what food was required for us, be it meat or fruits. The power point provided us with the perfect plan to stay healthy and fit. Next we had an interactive session with the doctor. He told us about the basic rules and methods to perform CPR in cases where the victim has undergone a cardiac arrest or is having breathing problems. He first demonstrated the technique to us and then asked for volunteers to do it so that we would understand and remember CPR better. All of us enjoyed the educational programme thoroughly and were happy to take home this new piece of information . The science club and the Yellow Sapphire House were successfully able to collect a donation of Rs. 70,000/- from the students for the Heart Care Foundation. The programme helped us to have a better outlook on life, life style diseases and to maintain a healthy heart.
