The older kids celebrated on Sunday and their program had a flag ceremony, handful of speeches, songs, and dances.
Both programs were jam packed. The kids came dressed in their finest outfits truly had fun, as did I! Saturday afternoon I also went to the Saturday Special, which is at the ashram. Every Saturday from 4p-6p they have some sort of activity setup for the kids. This Saturday they did a quiz show on Indian history - and as you can all imagine, I learned a lot!
These celebrations and festivals are what bring the community together. It was really special to be a part of these celebrations with these kids making them enjoy and have fun just like any other kid - I had more fun than I do at such functions at home! And the kids were surprisingly well behaved and systematic - more than I can say for kids there!
