We have gone through many changes regarding the photo gallery on our website. At first it was on a page named Image Gallery. Photos then went to Facebook, and then to our ZenPhoto gallery. However, due to certain site issues, we have decided to put all our photos on Picasa, and let you view the list of albums straight from the website.
Today was an unusual day at Samiksha. Five of us were there to tutor, read, talk to or share our time with the children at the ward. Only a small group of them showed up. Most were new faces. We talked about this among ourselves, as we realised that we needed to supply fresh school supplies and material for everyone there. We then decided to go around the ward and introduce ourselves to the new inpatients and their caregivers. As we went around we found many beds empty and cleaned out, it was quieter than usual. Truth is that most of the children in the ward had been discharged!
Samiksha Foundation will be a part of the Rajyothsava Celebrations at Brigade Millenium, JP Nagar. This event which will be held on 21st November. Dr. Manjari Bhatnagar, Mrs. Vidyavathi and Mrs. Sandhya Sharad will be present ton promote the Foundation.
We were experiencing site difficulties, and so we could not post this earlier. Sorry.
Children’s Day was another landmark day for the Foundation and for the children at Samiksha.
We are now in collaboration with a Theatre in Education group named Script People’s Theatre. We had a wonderful afternoon of playback theatre with them during which they heard personal experiences or favourite stories of the children and enacted them on stage. Among the most hilarious and engaging themes played back were the story of the Hare and the Tortoise and actor Ramya’s visit to a child at the hospital ward.
Today was a big day.
In a conversation with one of our tutors, Mrs. Hansa Rau, one of our children had expressed a desire to meet the actress Ramya. Mrs. Rau learned that Ramya was at a shoot in her neighbourhood, and grabbed the opportunity with commendable presence of mind. Much to our delight, Ramya immediately agreed to visit us.
The Make A Wish Foundation of India, Bangalore Division has joined our mission as a resource partner. We would like to welcome Mr. Vijay Ladha and his team from Make A Wish to Samiksha Foundation.
