Independence Day 15 Aug 2007 

Independence Day was celebrated in the community center hall of Sector A Pkt C.

There were over 60 children, who painted, presented items, sang patriotic songs, danced and played. All in all the children had a grand time.

The president Mr. M Gupta and all members of the RWA turned up to witness the program. Mr. Chopra, a prominent resident of Pkt C was specially invited by RWA for the function.Mr. Subhash Dewan, Mrs. Dr Usha Mukerjee, Srivastavs and Mr. Sundaram were present and encouraged the children.Mr. Prasad the senior member and Mrs. Sudha Madaan Organised and conducted the entire function. Mrs. Sudha Anil Kumar assisted Mrs. Madaan in the conduct of the function.

Mr. Puran Chand was present throughout and is planning something similar in the Sri Jagannath Pathashala in Nadakhanda in Orissa.

Last but not the least Rahul Dewan, ‘Rahul Bhaiya’ as the children love to call him was his inimitable self. He has taken video photos of the function.The best part, the most encouraging part of the entire function was that the children had actively planned the program, listed out the invitees, and decorated the venue. Even more, the children have decided that the next program will be organised, choreographed and conducted by them.

Shri ML Guptaji, of 1263, Sector A, well known for his social activities has allowed us to hold classes for the children in the hall of his ground floor flat.

With over 40 children and 4 teachers we are at present very hard presed for space. Even though the RWA has been promising additional space it has not materialised so far. So this offer has come at an appropriate time.

The hall can accomodate 20 children comfortably. Mr Prasad and I took the children to see and show them the place. There is a nice photo of Sathya Sai in the room, also one of Krishna and Arjuna.

Mr Goel who has the keys to the room has promised to arrange for a white board for use.

Plan to shift about 15 children to that location from Monday.
