On 24th January 2016, Mission Smile conducted the
inauguration of its 13th Guwahati International Mission by organising a
walkathon from the Latasil field to the Mahendra Mohan Choudhury Hospital. With
an impressive slogan “A Mile For Smile”, the walkathon started early morning at
7 am.
The students of Axel Public School prepared themselves for
the run ahead of them and reached the site at 7 am and after sometime everyone
was handed a white t-shirt with the logo of the event on it. The weather
complimented the event as it slowly drizzled as we started our walkathon.
The place was rather cold and wet but it definitely gave a
certain aura to the event that really made it pleasant. Slowly other
participants started pouring in and the queue stretched. Forming rows of 4, all
of us got excited for the walkathon to start.
The organizers started the event with the familiar wave of
the flag and off went all the participants. On our way out, we were handed
sheets with slogans written on it for us to chant on our way to the Hospital.
There were cheers and screams all around us.
Everyone was chanting to it, if not in unison but in
enthusiasm. There were cameraman and TV reporters all around us clicking every
moment, every turn of the walk. And the best part was, they were very
enthusiastic and cheered us on and even chanted the slogans with us.
After an hour of walking and screaming, upon arrival, we
were handed bottles of water and seating arrangement were made and this was
followed by the breakfast. Meanwhile, the inaugural ceremony had started with
the auspicious tradition of lamp lightening.
This was followed by speeches by a few distinguished people.
The organizers adjourned the event by thanking all the participants and the
well-wishers for the successful event and soon enough, we were on our way out
from the walkathon that managed to wake us up at 6 in the morning and start
walking.
