The month of September brought hope and joy to the children after a strenuous week off examinations at school. They now look forward to a weeklong holiday, playing their favorite games. Nearly 1600 children attended the shelter this month. Our fieldworker Shankar through his outreach was able to add two new children to the fraternity of Little Acorns. They are Salim (6 yrs.) and his brother Aslam (4 yrs). The Slum school is also full swing while 270 children attended and expected to increase.
Goa celebrated Ganesh festival with grandiosity and Little Acorns too joined the celebration through organizing various activities namely Skits, singing, dance, beach outings, Rangoli & Mehendi competitions. The winners were given prizes for their outstanding performance.
