Block Meeting
Yesterday in the delightful spring weather, the single women held a combined block meeting in Nishtha Community center. It was attended by 84 women who were delighted to get together again. The Government Welfare officer, the Principal of the Industrial Training Institute and the police officers all attended and explained how they could help the women when they need. Nishtha project officer Mohinder and Dr. Kusum also talked to the group making it a very interesting and informative program. In celebration of this being our first large gathering since the beginning of the pandemic. Nishtha provided a sumptuous lunch and our students led the dancing afterwards.

Priya and Sanjoli
Two of our special children, Priya and Sanjoli spend the day at the community center enjoying the new toy library we are setting up. They also love the big size pratham story books.
Visit to hillside school
This week when we delivered nutritious snacks to the primary school children on the hillside, we also presented them with a Pratham story book each! They were delighted. If they bring their book back when we next visit, they will get a new one. Hoping to instill a love of reading and imagination in these difficult times.
