Friends, as weather of Delhi-NCR region gets warmer by every passing day, it is heartening to see numbers of kids attending our education classes, growing up significantly. Last Sunday, Blue Pen celebrated Vasant Panchami festival at all centres. Kids were told about importance of this day as well as Goddess Sarswati.Prayers were followed by a divine rendition of Shlokas, celebrating the harvest season of the Hindu festival.
Mr Shivam, Volunteer-Coordinator (Noida-Okhla-Faridabad) shares, “As it was a bit warmer this time, kids seemed to be very happy and came with fresh mind. We always try to interact with them firstly so as to update us too what they do at home, how all going in their lifes, what problem they face and teach them how to handle these situations and later go for teaching sessions. Today we conducted surprise test for all the classes because tests are also very important then only we come to know if they are learning or not else we come teach and go only. This will develop sincerity among them too.”
Mr Shivam further adds “At Okhla, Deepak taught conversion of Rs into Paise, Km into met and cm and how they are used in our daily lives. We made a new plan to get sign their respective notebooks by their parents also atleast they should also know what their kids are doing.At Faridabad, we celebrated Basant Panchmi even kids there made a beautiful art of Goddess Sarswati using paper and colors only.”
Mr Saurabh,Volunteer-Coordinator (Munirka-Nizamuddin line) discusses, “Basant Panchami, also known as Vasant Panchami, is celebrated in reverence to the Hindu deity Goddess Saraswati, epitome of learning , music & art. People celebrate this day by visiting temples, flying kites, and donating to the needy. To celebrate this festival, the students of the Blue Pen NGO, Munirka held a Special Assembly. Prayer, pledge, school vision & mission were followed by a divine rendition of Shlokas, celebrating the harvest season of the Hindu festival. The spring of joy took over when a prayer ceremony worshipping Goddess Saraswati was led by offerings of spring flowers by all the students & volunteers of the NGO and distribution of Prasad amongst all.”
