Such festivals (Orphan Festival) have significant importance where induces in the human-being the importance of social solidarity and the importance of a category of the society, i.e. the orphans category.

Such workshops are the rise for the conscience of the people who have firm and convinced belief that the orphan is an integral part of the community and it should acquire the concern of all the community whether the civil community or the government.
