Nishtha Community Center provides a safe and creative space for kids to spend their after school hours and holidays. This monsoon holiday, despite the heavy rains, the kids were busy every afternoon for 15 days preparing English skits and dances. Most of the kids are first time English speakers, but that didn’t daunt them. They were keen to learn and worked very hard to master their lines, indeed they always went one step ahead to make each act even funnier. The dance was their favorite and they practiced it 2 or 3 times every day. Their efforts culminated in two wonderfully joyous shows and we hope to give another performance in the school at the beginning of the new term. We are very grateful to Puja Anand, Aloka and Manchanta for their hugely valuable and inspirational effort.
