Following the Morning Prayer every day,it was time for a fun and energy filled aerobics work out session under the expert guidance of renowned Fitness instructor, Ms.Ella Kumar. thoroughly and also the parents would stay back to watch their children enjoy the workout. This fun filled workout was followed by nutrition in the form of morning breakfast with milk. Then, would begin a series of workshops and activities; which were pre-planned by our team of volunteers and teachers for the entireday. The day included regular nutrition breaks in the form of lunch,fruit and evening snack. During these 5 fun filled days, the children at the Camp attended various workshops including Drawing, Colouring, Arts & Crafts, Dance, Music and also Self Defence.
On 11th of January 2012, we had arranged for a day picnic for the children to Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT), wherein the children enjoyed making shadow puppets, tram ride, dance and were among the first ones to take ride in the newly installed space ship at MOTAT. During these days, the children have also actively participated in various dance sequences. They have rehearsed these sequences quite hard enough to deliver a good performance on 21st of February 2012 during the 63rd Republic Day Celebration at Mt. Roskill War Memorial, 13 May Road, Mt.
