8th Sept 2009

It was a great joy to see enthusiasm in the eyes of the staff as they began painting the 'diyas' for the fund raising event. The enthusiasm was contagious as I-Shiners Mrs. Madhukar, Ashfaaq ( who had brought three of his interested college mates) , Nitasha & Sneha. Pretty soon there were laughing and bonding going on among the huddled group as they painted dried and decorated each of the twenty diyas that were brought by our ward boy , Anand.

I touched my heart to see how good deeds always find a way of happening and becoming a success. We also got new volunteers who were interested to come and see the group activities on Saturday as they wanted to interact with the patients more.

The Diyas have now landed on my desk for the final touches. We are still debating on the pricing and packaging of them i.e. if to seel them individually or in pairs. Lets see.

The speech therapy interns lent their hands in fixing the yellow ribbons to the book marks that Vyjayanthi had made . They are coming out great !!

I am personally trying my hand out on making some paper weights out of M-seal. Plan to make roses , which would be later painted in gold. Will post a picture is I can..

All-in-all, it was a productive day .. A day started with a quote.. ' Lets SHINE !!!
