This Saturday we had a very special education programme. We went and celebrated Independence Day with the kids. We started off our education programme by dividing the kids into three groups according to their grades. Our education committee had designed a specific programme for each group.

For the youngest we had a storytelling sesion involving stories about peace and working together in harmony. We also had games which taught them how to count and the names of different colours.

For the kids in middle school, we showed a series of pictures and played “Spin a Yarn.” This was a great exercise as it brought out their creativity and it was heartwarming to see the children get excited about their talents being showcased. This was followed by quizzing them on topics related to Independence Day.

For the older children we had an interactive session where they shared their hopes and dreams. This was followed by an Independence Day quiz. This quiz not only helped us estimate their knowledge but also taught them the facts they needed to know about the country we all live in.

We concluded our education programme by singing the national anthem.

Independence Day signifies freedom in every aspect of life, especially the freedom to live the life we were meant to live. By doing our part, I hope we can help them get closer to that dream.
