Ohhh ......... Another Beautiful Experience. Visiting an orphanage home. How was this activity different ? I'd say, although we have been to an orphanage home earlier, yet this one was different in terms of the quality of the visit. So on 3.7.2011 we visited an orphanage home called "BAL ANAND" This place is home to over 70 kids with ages group from new born to 18 years. It is divided into seperate floors for mentally ill children, for toddlers, for new borns & for kids of age 6 and above.
We went there with a sunday morning breakfast. We served the kids with idlis, cake & milk. They were indeed happy to see visitors taking care of them, playing with them .... we could tell. They responded so well, making us happy & joyful & enthusiastic.
For this visit, we re-learned our school time craft & tried to successfully incorporate it in the activity, making it a worthwhile learning session for the children alongwith fun ofcourse. After the breakfast got over, we divided the kids into 3 groups.
Youngest ones (Jr. & Sr. Kg) to do drawing & origami.
Mid age kids (1st to 3rd Std.) to make paper bags
AND the eldest ones (3rd Std. & above) to make pen stands. You will see how much the kids enjoyed doing this in all the pictures.
Finally we clicked lot of pictures with the kids, spoiled them a lil bit by giving them chocolates in the end ...... To now head to our next activity. PLANTATION.
This activity again brought us back to the place we had been to earlier, HOME FOR MENTALLY DEFICIENT KIDS, only this time to plant healthy trees. From our last visit here, we realised that these children need:
1. Lot of greenery around them to keep them in a pleasant mood,
2. Tulsi, Neem & Aleovera plants .. for health reasons.
3. Flowering plants to keep them smiling, happy & hopeful
4. Fruit bearing plants which will help the organisation.
So we gathered all these & planted them around the complex of this home. We hope our seeds will bear good results & a healthy living atmosphere for these people.
