32 kids jump into 5 autos and we reach our home!
We remove our sandals in a row, get into the room, sit in silence for a while!The kids one by one wash their hands, payal and shilpa takes the lead and teaches them how to properly sanitize their hands. Jayanti teaches them how to wash their feet and clean them.They come back and sit in circle. Mean while other kids are sitting in silence. Once every body is done with washing and cleaning we do a prayer followed by discussing the schedule of the day.
While having snacks a lot of beautiful moments unfold that reminds me of ' The Allegory of the long spoons'. some of our kids instead of having food feed their friends. The kindness ripple spread and all the kids start feeding each other with love and care.
After that each kid is given an animal character to play and they are divided into 5 groups.They are given 30 minutes to prepare themselves for a story with a moral which they would perform using puppets . Kids come up with stories based on friendship and kindness. We are moved to see how seeds of love planted in kids are blossoming through their moral behind each story.
Kids preparing for their Story:
The idea is to make kids learn story analysis, story telling, develop confidence and skill while they express themselves, learn to work in team, appreciate others ideas and engage themselves readily where in they can have fun and learn values.
We feel some pain amidst this serenity and love. Raveena one of our new student is giving hard time to her friends by abusing them and hitting them. I ask her to confess about her bad behaviour , she resists for a while but during the closing circle she confesses, apologizes and promises never to repeat that again.
Prachi Didi and Mahima Didi get icecream and sweets for kids. After relishing yummy dessert kids leave for their home !
