During “Raksha Bandhan” (the “Festival of Brotherhood”) we celebrated by having a special day of fun, games and “family” for the children of migrant workers.

It was a daylong affair, with games, magic shows, a ventriloquist, and musical numbers by our performance team (consisting of some hearing-impaired students).

This was followed by a nice lunch of Chicken Biriyani and ice cream!

In the afternoon we showed a film. Afterwards, each child received a parting gift that included toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, sweets and a toy. The kids were “flipped out!” and many of them said it was the best day in their lives. The joyful faces and smiling eyes said it all.
