AMIGOS team visited Sadhana Home for mentally retarded for the second time on 2nd August (Friendship day) which is located in Naacharam. A group of 18 members reached the place around 2.30 pm. This time almost 10 new members joined for the AMIGOS activity, we really feel happy about it.
It was a new building with ample place in the premises for the kids to play. By the time we reached all the kids were waiting for us in the hall. We were welcomed with warm hugs and kisses. We started with introduction of the kids. After the intro we took the kids to the open place downstairs.
We started with the old all time favourite game “The Train”. All of us along with the kids became the train and ran across the open space, it was real fun. Then came “Ringa Ringa Roses......” and later we played “Blind folded”. They played so well that they caught us much faster than we could. We played “Musical chairs” after that. We all enjoyed a lot.
One of the kids was a diehard cricket fan, we had some virtual cricket going on the background while others were playing skipping and some catches with the rings and flying disks we brought along for the kids....... One of the kids ... was so active that she made us run around the ground for some time. She was enjoying herself to the max...
After all the running we all sat down for drawing and colouring.... All the AMIGOS team members sat down with the kids helping to colour. Can’t believe the talent the kids have. All the kids showed a lot of interest and dedication and they had amazing hidden talents in them. One can wonder why they are referred as mentally challenged as none of them seemed to be one.
After a wonderful time of colouring we all gathered for cake cutting. We ended the event with lots of group pictures with the kids..... We all enjoyed so much that it was really hard to leave the place. Kids couldn’t see us leaving; we all ended up with tears in the eyes.
The event was a great success we all came back with hearts filled with memories and a wonderful message to remember..... “One need to appreciate what we have with us instead of starving for what we don’t, as there are people who don’t have all that but still enjoy their lives to the fullest”........
“Enjoy your life to the fullest with whatever you got”.
