CORE KENDRA WEEKLY UPDATE We had a brilliant last day to the half term. The day started with an energetic zumba session followed by gujarati. After this we came together for a lively prathna, bhajan and dhoon. Then the younger baalako were told the story of the 'Boy who cried wolf' and the older baalako debated about the effects of plastic on the environment. Then we all came back together for an informative talk about Mary's Meals, a charity that we will be supporting. The rest of the day was spent on the field having an exciting tug of war competition between dastas. BAAL MANDIR WEEKLY UPDATE Dates for your Diary
