Theme for

August-September 2013 :

TAARE ZAMEEN PAR…

"A child is a gift of God, a blessing from

above, a picture of purity

and innocence.

As Rabindranath Tagore says, 'every child

comes with a message that God is not yet

discouraged of man'.

Every child is a star on earth, is special,

who enriches and cleanses the soul, an

empty canvas, waiting to be painted with

love."

Record a video of activities that the

kids have participated in

and replay it for them.

They will be elated to see themselves

on screen!

2. Fashion show

Each Bridge Builder can walk down the ramp with one child.

This activity can be made more interesting if the kids can make their own outfits and accessories first, and

then walk the ramp.

A fun cook along session with kids can be

organized in which they can cook their

favorite food.
