New Year with Kids

Starting this post with wishing you Happy New Year.Jan 1st 2010We thought of starting activities from the first day of this year. We planned to visit 2 schools near electronic city and celebrate new year with the children there.All of us started together from WIPRO at 12.00pm to our first school Hulimangala . About 50 Kids were waiting for us to come as they know about our visit, We interacted with all the kids in the school by knowing their names and trying to remember their names.The kids tried to produce different kinds of sounds like starting of a train engine, Bee around a flower , Snake etc. We started giving chocolates and biscuit packets to all the kids and started towards our next place Vaabasandra.Its almost time for lunch by the time we reached the school and about 75 kids are there in the school, Teachers gathered all the kids to a class room. Kumar and sashank gave them a nice speech in kannada to study well . We wished them happy new year, distributed them the snacks and back to office from there.The kids and teachers are very happy about our visit to the schools on the new year.Its a nice gathering of volunteers too on the new year. Its a nice feel for all of us to be there with the children on the new year.More than half of the volunteers came for the first time for an activity like this.Ravi Teja,Sunil,Santosh,Shiva,Bhageerath,Sashank,Jayaraj,Kumar,Ravi,Bindu and Bhavani are some of of the people who participated in the activity.
