On Thursday, June 3, actor Mukesh Rishi visited the children at the paediatric ward in the Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology as a guest of the Samiksha Foundation. He spent around 40 minutes interacting with them and looking at the work they had done under the auspices of the Foundation. The children showed him their schoolwork and drawings, and also treated him to a couple of songs.

Six of the children in the ward at Kidwai had their birthdays celebrated with us on Saturday the 8th of May. We started off with our usual program, with Swami Yogaratna’s blessings, and then yoga and kirthan singing. Then, the storytellers from Kathalaya, Ambika and Manjula, took over with some interesting stories and origami activities that kept the children smiling throughout.

A detailed description of the event is also present.
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 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.
We have a new photo gallery on our website! All photos we take will now be posted there.

Sunday morning the 6th Sept was a day of anticipation and great joy for the children. We celebrated the birthdays of Sanjay (10 years), Sinchana (6 years) and Aryaman (6 years) at KMIO Kapoor ward. Our parent sponsor Tania arranged for Magician Satish Kumar to entertain the children. We also had a prayer, some singing and shared gifts and toys with all children at the ward and the dharamshala. The best part was when most of the mothers also joined in and participated in the show. Everyone had a very fun time that morning with lots of laughs! Our Yoga teacher Swami Yogaratna wrapped up the event with some beautiful singing with the children.
