We started our morning at the Morwadi centre which celebrated its first birthday today. The kids had decked themselves up in their finest. Now these kids love games so Reeves Bhaiyya played the role of a Mathemagician with them and enthralled them with a Math trick. After this, he introduced them to the fantastic Sudoku, to some the answers came easy while the rest decided to spend the day at home, cracking the code! The kids were then treated to some yummy cake.
A visit to the Vetalnagar centre was filled with a pleasant surprise. The kids had decided to speak in English about this festive day and had come well prepared. We do not know how they managed to put this together but they did a fantastic job. Some of them had their script in English, some English written in Marathi and some, part English and part Marathi. Guddi played anchor to the morning and the following is what they presented:
Good Morning Bhaiya and Didis.
At first Bhaiya taught us English and Dimple Didi taught us Drawing very nice. We like that very much.
I like Rashmi didi because Rashmi didi taught very nice, games also she took so that we like. Then Swati Didi taught us very good things. Swati didi tell us very nicely when we make mistakes, she take easily and Swati didi share all things in life. Swati didi live always happy. Swati didi tell about other good things which are not in books. Then Stella didi came and taught us. I like Stella didi. Now Seema didi teach very nice.
We have no tension about science and math. Seema didi teach us so we can’t fail in science and math.
So thankful to all didis and bhaiyas for teaching us good things.
Now my friend Sonali will tell us about what they learn in one year.
“Good Morning bhaiya and didis. Today we celebrate one year. I am happy today because I can speak English. I like Bhaiya and all didis.”
Now my friend Ashwini will come.
“Good morning Bhaiya and didis. At first bhaiya and didi came in our school, they met to our principal. Next day they came to our community. They take our small test. They told us they will teach us English, Math and Science. They take very less fees from us.
Bhaiya and didis teach us very nicely. Bhaiya give us good opportunity to learn so we can become good person when we will big. So who come to class they are very lucky.
Thanks to didis and bhaiya.”
Reshma come.
“Welcome to bhaiya and didi. At first we can’t speak English but now can speak English. When this centre open bhaiya and didi taught us good things. Other than book we learn about around us what happen. They arrange our trip to Shaniwarwadi, Aga Khan Palace, Empress Garden etc. They told all information about all points. We enjoyed our trip very much.
Thank to Bhaiya and Didi, they open this centre for us and we learn very good things in this year.”
I request to bhaiya to tell us about this centre what you feel.
“Well I am always really happy to come to this centre for three reasons:
First, you are all girls and I believe that girls in India must get educated and have the opportunity to learn, to earn and be independent. Second, you are always full of life.
Third, you ask – Bhaiyya how, Bhaiyya why, Bhaiyya please repeat. Children should always be inquisitive and want to learn more and you are inquisitive children and that is good.
One thing I would like to see better in your centre is the attendance, because if you come to centre everyday and come on time, you will learn more. I do not mind if you make masti, this is your age to make masti and enjoy. But you must come every day, that is more important.”
Thank you bhaiyya and didis.
The celebrated ended with a cake party.
