[Reader-list] [Announcements] invitation for children's day celeberation

[Safar Delhi]

Dear Friend

SAFAR is inviting you for BAGIYA - The Children's Festival on Sunday, 19
November 2006. This is a children's festival on the eve of 14 NOv.
Children's Day. Since 14th is the working day, the celeberation will be on
19, ie sunday. This is in continuation of our effort to create space for the
kids to show their talent and creativity, to provide an atmosphere where
they can earn and learn leadership quality in the field of their interest.
This is also a way to provide a chance of interface between children and
their parent or community as well.

This will be a program fully meant for and organised by children (between
7-14 years of age). They have their own perspective about the society,
neighbourhood, burning problems of everyday life and so on, which is evolved
after a series of interaction with them for the past few months. They have
every reason to celebrate this day in their own way. In one of meetings with
the kids they spoke about different forms of pollution, gender
discrimination, parent-kids relationship, socialisation, problem of water
and electricity, lack of creative space for them, etc. That is why they have
decided to present their understanding in various ways.

They are going to stage plays (scripted, directed and acted by themselves),
write letters, essays, stories, poems, slogans etc. They will also be making
posters and playcard, and perfoming dance and songs.  Besides, the groups
named 'We for Yamuna' and 'Jigri' will be holding a workshop on environment
and peforming some beautiful songs. It would be great if you suggest and
arrange some more interesting workshops for the children. We don't have
money to hire professionals but  hope lack of money will not be hinderance
anymore.

The programme venue is:

*Main Park, Delhi Administration Colony
Timparpur, Delhi 110054
*
(The landmark is SAFAL & Mother dairy booth)

Note: T*he nearest metro station is Vishwidyalya (Delhi University)*

For any query make a call at 9811972872

Your presence will encourage the children. Hope you will be joining hands
with the kids on that day.


warm regards

safar team
