Children’s Day Celebrations

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.

As always, the dramatists were rewarded with lots of laughter and applause, and the children told them to come back every week.

We are grateful to Rajesh, Venkatesh and the moderator Umesh, as well as their team for the wonderful performance. Their website can be found at http://playbacktheatre.wordpress.com.
