Hello Friends,
It was a memorable saturday afternoon for all of us at Deepam . The children brought so much energy to the event and am still recovering from the afternoon. The children enjoyed the events , which reflected in their fantastic performances. In the coming days, we will write more about the event – more pictures / videos will be posted on the groups.
The teamwork at Deepam was so evident on that day – to pull off this big event, we had to have so many people working together. When this happens at a completely volunteer driven organisation, it is quite a special feeling 🙂
Here is a big thanks to all the people who joined to help –
- Gopal Sir – Thanks for helping us get the venue. Couldn’t have asked for better facilities and a more historical place, for our big event
- Team West Mambalam – Priya , Vasanthi , Arthi , Maduravalli , Bhagirathi , Sriram , Noopuran , Saye and others. I couldn’t believe the children were speaking in such fluent english and came across so confident on stage. Thats a reflection of the work you put in !
- Radhika / Basu / Archana – Thanks for ensuring all the children had a medal / certificate to take home. All of them were proudly showing off the medals 🙂
- Team UK Centre – Nisha / Sadhvia / Balaji / Giri and others . Your dedication reflects in the regular turnout of the children.

and help from many more..
It sure was magical to see the whole event fall in place, with the help of volunteers. We never had any prior rehearsals, but as with all good things – the event exceeded expectations. The stars of the afternoon sure were.. the children & volunteers.
Thanks
