Independence Day Celebrations

Yuva Prathistan is the NGO with which I have tied up to conduct these workshops. They do alot of work in the community as I mentioned before. The kids love to dance, act and basically just perform so to aid activities in that direction Yuva Pratishtan organized an event for the 15th of August.

Founders and supporters of the NGO were invited to watch the show. The hall with a capacity of 350 people was packed with kids from the community and invitees. While working with the kids, they mentioned the event more than a 100 times as they were so excited about it.

Please view the NGOs website too http://www.yuva-india.org/ A special thanks to Naman Pugalia, Shaan S. Khanna, Harsh Sheth and Param Gandhi who've been very supportive of my project!










The kids wanted to click pictures themselves, so they asked me to carry the cameras along 
and became the official photographers of the event!


The hall, costumes and snacks were all sponsored and organized by Yuva. Post the event, which was at Marine Drive,  I went to the community for class, but no one was in the mood for it! The entire community was celebrating in the corridors, playing games and dancing. Instead of class, I visited some of the children's homes to meet their family members and wish them a happy independence day.

Musical chairs in the corridors!
Meeting friends and family members
