Visit to Children home

Last month, kids had a trip to an orphanage in Pune, as their school raised money from Dandiya event conducted in their school premises. Thought I'll also pay a visit to the orphanage to see how kids react when they interact with the kids there. As I could see, kids mixed well and they were busy exchanging games they play in their respective schools. And they had fun playing together.


By the time I reached there, Harshita made friendship with a girl by name Karishma. Now Harshita is pitching in to share her views...I'm typing as she is telling...

"Karishma is a 11 year old girl and she is short for her age. She has a big brother and a small sister. Her parents could not afford money for them. So they sent them to the orphanage. The orphanage has a school, library, cafeteria, bedding and clothes. They like their home, but they are forced to drink dirty water and eat the same food everyday...that too, in small quantity. I think they are very creative, good at dancing and very friendly to visitors. They also participated in a dance competition and won. When we visited them, they danced on the same song as in the competition. Their dance was on a Ganesh Sloka. But I must say, they danced pretty well. Karishma was very happy when our school served the orphanage Bournvita and notebooks to write in. There were many poor kids who were being comforted by the elder ones. Most of the people felt very sympathy and were also making them active. Karishma is a Marathi girl. She mostly talks in Marathi, but can understand little Hindi. It was a little hard communicating with the orphans. But I think they were able to understand what we were saying. So in my view, I think the orphanage field trip was the best one until now."

Here is the picture of Harshita with Karishma.


Kids were curious to know about each other....


And I saw these two kids sitting on one side and talking to each other. When I asked why they were not playing, they replied that they love to talk with each other. So cute....


Here is some art work done by the kids there..






School kids enjoyed distributing Bournvita and see them smile...

Kids there seemed to be very happy. Life has taught them a big lesson to live without parents. The person who is in charge of the orphanage was very proud to say that the kids are very responsible and very good in their studies too. I couldn't control to capture their smiles....






Here is the information about the orphanage, "The orphanage in the name of Bhatkya Vimukta Jati Shikshan Orphanage(BVJSS) is run by its founder Mr Shivlal Jadhav, a post graduate in Economics & Politics. This home has abandoned children from the streets of Pune and at present there are around 250 children between the ages of 5 to 15 who are provided with food, shelter and education in the premises itself. "


Now listening to Kunal Ganjawala's song on SaReGaMaPa "Life is good. Life is wonderful. Life is pain.... it's all part of that game...." very true.
