The recent past has seen many things happening in the class. The weather has changed and so have the class timings. First, the sunday classes shifted to 11:00 am from the evening classes and now the heat has made us change it to 10:00 am. The good part is, the class is easier on the kids too.
From january, we have started adding milk to the kids after class diet on sunday's. The kids seem to like it and are usually pleased if they get a second helping. Should hope to make this a more regular feature for times to come.
Holi too was celebrated in class like all other major festivals. Like previous years, the kids made their own natural colours using mehndi, haldi, besan, maida etc. Natural colours are fun to make and dont cause harm to skin and eyes. The kids also learnt how to make paper bags to keep the colours and as expected, most of it was used up immediately after the class in an impromptu holi celebration amongst the kids. It was fun, both for the kids as well as for the volunteers who had come well prepared.
Will try to add more details about people who we met and the things that we are planning.
