Children’s Park Group Trip, August 8th, 2009

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Here’s a short statement from Vidyalakshmi, one of the members of our Educational Committee, about last Sunday’s visit to the Children’s Park, Guindy:

Vidyalakshmi on the August 8th, 2009 trip to Children's Park, Guindy.It was a nice trip on Saturday with the kids. In the zoo we divided the kids into groups of 4 and one uf us went along with them and accompanied them. We made them read about the animals given on the nearby boards. We made them sit in a circle and played a game asking them to dance and sing. Finally we asked them to share their experience about the trip with us and what they gained from it. It was a first experience like this for most of the kids, so they were all happy for arranging such a trip.

We had lots of fun with them.  We were able to interact well with the kids and came to know more about them. The kids were so happy that day and enjoyed themselves. I was very impressed with the kids shared their food with us. They were all so lovable! Thanks to Paathai for arranging this trip and inviting us too!

You can see the photos from the trip in our gallery.

Yesterday (August 8th, 2009,) our Educational Committee was invited to go with Paathai on their trip to the Wildlife Park, Guindy. Adya, Ashita, Lekha and Vidya had a wonderful time spending time with the children of the MGR Nagar slum and getting to know the people from Paathai as well.  We were also happy to sponsor the travel expenses of the trip.

Hopefully we will have a writeup from one of them later this week.  Here are some of the pictures they took on their trip.  Click on the thumnail for a full size version or check out the album to see the rest of the pictures.
