Dear Benefactor,
Greetings from Margadarshi and Happy, Prosperous New Year!!
We are happy to inform that all our students’ mid-term exams got over and they have achieved A+ in most of the subjects, one of our students, Shivanagamma has scored 1st Class in her 3rd Semester BA.
Last quarter was a joyous one, as it is the festival season in India. The most fun filled of all was the 2019 New Year Celebration. New Year has magical power that makes a person immensely content for it brings with it, new hopes and aspirations, a positive change over in one’s life, giving them yet another opportunity to let their life unfold and grow as a person, beyond their horizon. This feeling of joy and positivity was overflowing in our girls as they started their preparation to usher in 2019.
The planning and preparation for the New Year celebration started a week before. Different teams were formed, comprising of 5 girls in each group and each group was assigned a task, like conducting quiz, anthakshari (song competition), games, overall decorations, etc.,.
All the girls plunged into their assigned tasks with lot of enthusiasm, from 31st December morning. By early evening, the Home was decorated beautifully with flowers and with decorative items made by them and lights which gave it a perfect ambience to celebrate their new year. The place was filled with fragrance from incense sticks. By 6pm, all were ready each one dressed in their best and looking like princesses. The celebration started at 6.30pm, with slokas and thanking God for the wonderful 2018. Each Group competed in a positive way and brought out their best in organising the same. It started with musical chair and for many it is the first time they are taking part in this sport. After the show of their physical ability, their mental ability was challenged in the form of Quiz competition, comprising of general knowledge questions, everyone did answer so well, that in the end the 1st prize had to be shared with many for getting equal marks. It was followed by song competition, the girls burst into laughter when they had silly and humour filled songs during their play of anthakshari. After a delicious specially prepared dinner of pulao, salads and sweets, they resumed their celebration and welcomed the New Year with group dancing. At the strike of 00.00 midnight, they all hugged each other and wished everyone. This was followed by cake-cuttings and a short reflection and resolutions they made for 2019. The winners of the activities conducted were given presents as a token of appreciation. In short everyone received some prize or the other.
We could see their happiness which came from their hearts and as their Well Wisher, the credit goes to YOU, for that smile on their faces.
Warm Regards
