India celebrated her 73rd year of independence and hundreds of U&I students celebrated with the country!
At one of our Learning Centers in Mysore, for instance, the children worked for weeks, along with our volunteers, to put on a show for Independence Day. Some of the children delivered speeches, others sang songs about the country and a few got to demonstrate their artistic side with rangolis (floral patterns made on the floor with colored powder).
While to many this may not have been a spectacular show, to the children it was a unique chance to express themselves and build their confidence.
Our tutors couldn't have been prouder to see the excited kids work hard and take on the stage with exuberance. This is partly whatIndia's independence is about - that every individual, irrespective of caste or income, has the right to education, the right to express themselves and the right to be heard. The country's future is in these children.
Without our donors and their support, we wouldn't be able to build these future generations. We are investing in children. We are investing in the country.
