VaaO episode 11: 18/03/2017 - 'Movie time'

Last week was Holi (festival of colours celebrated in India, Nepal and other neighbouring countries) so we couldn’t go and visit the students. This week we decided to do something more entertaining with the children and something that they don’t probably get to do as often. We came to a conclusion to show them a movie. This idea worked very well and all the children were engaged and enjoyed watching “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani” (a Hindi movie of 2013). I was delighted to see the happiness and joy in their eyes, seemed as if it was something they always wanted. When we told them today we are going to watch a movie then they all quickly arranged the table to sit and watch the movie- I just don't have any words to describe their excitement. I felt satisfied to see them happy & excited and once again it reminded me of how privileged I am and don’t even realise the importance of having a laptop to watch movies whenever I want. Later after an hour and half we gave all the kids colouring sheets and books to read. At 1 pm we finished off! Today was fun and the kids seemed to have enjoyed! Hope to see them next week again.
