On Sunday, October 11th, 2009 AMIGOS team conducted the event “Kaanthi” at Samarthanam. 60 students were there in total who included visually challenged and other orphans.
We started with first introducing ourselves to them and all the students introduced themselves. Most of the students are in PUC and few in Degree.
Along with their names and what they were studying we asked them to tell their ambition in life. Their dreams are truly amazing. Ranging from lawyers, teachers, s/w engg, and MBAs, there were many who wanted to be singer’s n music directors too!!!
Followed by the introduction, we had singing competition. 15 of them sang.
They are blessed with such melodious voices and their spirit is truly amazing.
To be frank, we started up with a notion that many students may not turn up participating. But later, we had a fear if we could accommodate everyone!!!
They showed so much enthusiasm in participating.
Also few others participated in Mono Acting. 2 of them enacted scenes from Mahabharatha.
It was truly brilliant. Their confidence, dialogue delivery was jus too good
the students overwhelmed us by their sportiveness and energy...
In fact they ragged us to some extent They made us sing
Cake Cutting was done by the students itself.
Certificates were given to all the participants and prizes were given to few of the chosen.
We closed by distributing the sweets, choclates n chips to them.
