Greetings from Balajothi on a fine Monday morning after an exciting and action packed Saturday at the Bal Bhavan on 16th February. All our kids eyes were shining like TAARE ZAMEEN PAR and it warmed our hearts to see so many volunteers who turned up, carrying the kids and playing with them, taking care of them on the rides, running around with them .... It was an amazing sight and it was happening right before our eyes. The parents were relaxed and for once had a relaxed time while the volunteer team took charge of the kids.
The A.O. of the Bal Bhavan was kind enough to permit free rides on the toy train and all the games. We had a whale of a time with the kids, and volunteers cheering themselves and others around sitting on the rides. Unfortunately we could not make it to the toy train for want of time. But all of us did have a gloriously fun time out there.
All of us at Balajothi are immensely grateful to you and your team of volunteers including Sheetal and her sister, Shruthi, Teju, Deepika, Poonam, Niveditha, Kapil, Vipul, Sasi, Bharath, Shobit, Balvinder and others who endeared themselves with the children and with us. And of course, our special thanks to Charlotte and Prarthana who made all this possible through your efforts. Please convey our affectionate regards to each one of them.
