SpreadingSmiles.org has done their bit in making christmas special for all the childrens of valasa,but children without any facilities or we can underprivilaged children are not only limited to valasa,but in almost every state of India we have a sector of people who find it difficult to even get their basic necessities.
We though of asking some distinguished members of India-Forums.com how will they make Christmas special for these unprivilaged children.
We asked a common question to all of them and lets see what they answered.
Question:What do you think about the problems faced by underprivileged childrens?How will you make Christmas special for such childrens?

I think its sad and unfortunate that there are so many underpriviledged children out there, at this time of year I would make Christmas special by giving toys, donating books and games that I no longer use and just give back. There are so many things that many of us take for granted but for those kids, the smallest gesture can put a huge smile on their faces.

Children are the future and it is the responsibility of adults to protect them and ensure that they get the best footing in life. Unfortunately, this is not always the case in many nations around the world. There are many terrible issues like poverty, lack of facilities and access to education, child labour and wrong influence on the children. These are not problems which can be sorted in the blink of an eye. The feeling of seeing young children suffering endlessly is inexpressible.
If I was given a chance to make underprivileged children's Christmas special, then I would opt for the simplest and most valuable thing anyone can give. Something which cannot be taken back when it's given and that is; time. Rather than just donating some money, spending time with them asking their names and what they like to do. Connecting with the children and showing them that you're interested in their country and culture by doing little things like dining with them in a local eatery. Make the children feel like they've done something special by asking them to teach you some of the basics of their language and teaching them a few phrases of yours. These are the priceless things which will leave a piece of you with the children.
But at the end of the day, there isn't much that can be done except donating to organisations in hope that you will make a difference.

Basic civic needs and education is what they lack.
Pray that we get good govt. officials/politicians who will do the needful to these kids.
Personally,I have been helping a handful to get education.

Underprivileged children are mostly deprived of either basic necessities or love. Mostly they feel themselves unworthy & burden. They do not need our pity rather unconditional care & love. They do not know what's are festivals like Christmas. Its just one of the day of a year. I want to feel them that they are worthy of, not just a burden, most importantly to be loved.
A Surprise Party with Santa along with lots of gifts. I like to invite all my friends & family there who will enjoy Christmas with those kids. Every invited person have to contribute something for their future welfare.

First of all, I don't deem it to be necessary for everyone around the world to celebrate a lavish Christmas. Reason being, obviously, the underprivileged feel out of place because they cannot celebrate. This opinion remains the same for all the festive seasons that have unnecessary spending including Eid and Diwali as well. I believe that same money should be donated to persons who essentially are in need of it.
Coming back to point, it is our moral duty to try our best to provide a decent Christmas celebration to those who cannot afford it. The best way through this, since children are the subject here, is to act as a Secret Santa for children and leave presents for them on Christmas eve. This gives them that little happiness of the festive season, and it also comes in the truest form of traditional Christmas, the Santa Claus.

I think it is really unfair that these kids have to go through such a hard life at such a young age.
It isnt about just making their christmas special but to better their standard of living. Instead of giving them money giving them food to eat. Helping them get a good education. Anything in my power i'd do to help these little kids lead a better life. :)
