Children living in low income communities sadly do not have the opportunity to be children as they have several responsibilities at home- cooking, cleaning, accompanying their parents to work, taking care of their younger siblings etc. Children’s day was a good opportunity for the children of our centre to put aside all of these for a morning of fun and enjoyment.
The morning started with Aniket, one of our students, reading to the class a poem in Marathi on the joys and travails of childhood. The children then learnt marble painting and also made pen stands using old newspapers.
This festive occasion was also used to commence sports class with the kids. Subhash bhaiyya began the first session with the children by sharing with them the plan for the year. Later, the kids learnt 4 yog-aasans which helped them both relax and focus.
