The X'Mas Celebrations



Today was yet another celebration of love! We got the christmas tree lit with coloured lights. Then we got a huge cake . Mamta, one of the kids in the orphanage along with all her friends cut the cake. Daniel sang the Merry Christmas song and we all followed him. After the cake distribution it was time for photo sessions. Kids were really busy posing with all the people who had come to wish them Merry Christmas. We bought the kids chocolates which were gift wrapped and had their names written on it. The kids then searched for their chocolate and thanked all of us for coming and also wished us Merry Christmas. They also danced and sang. Not only the kids, Rajesh and Poornima also entertained us with their dancing and music skills respectively. At the end of the evening we all got together to give a perfect pose for a group photo. It was a great evening spent with the kids who were more than just happy to see us.

Pre Christmas celebrations

The moment when we thought that we should do something very different this Christmas, we were reminded that its been months that we went to AGC( orphanage). So, one fine day some of us decided to go to see the kids. As usual they were excited to see us! The lady incharge of the orphanage invited us and asked us to help the children with the Christmas decorations! We all decided that we would go...and it happened to be on 23rd Dec! It was an evening when the orphanage was filled by as many as 25 students!!!! On one side there were some who were decorating Christmas tree, on the other side some were trying hard at blowing the balloons! It was again a fulfilling day for many as they were using all their creative skills to decorate the orphanage! The kids too were excited and were running around to see their hostel turn brighter and colourful as it went on becoming darker outside!! Not only this 4 girls out of their own interest danced to songs which they only sang! It was a treat to our eyes! There were no lights, no fancy dressing, no loud music...but that was a dance that will touch your hearts! The dancers were in perfect sync and they danced their hearts out! The audience took some time to come out of it. They cheered and clapped and then got back to their work. It took around 3 hours to decorate the hostel....It was another exciting day for all those who were playing with colourful ribbons, balloons. At the end of the day it was an evening of feeling togetherness, warmth and peace at heart! Merry Christmas!
