Following this, we had our huge end-of-term ECA, with baalko aiming to make a real difference. We packed boxes full of books (over 2000 books) to be sent to underprivileged children in Kenya, learnt how to relax in an asasno session that followed a lively game session, and won sponsorship money for the Charity Walk by completing challenges in an exciting funfair. With music pumping and the sun shining, the atmosphere at Kendra was electric and it was a fantastic end to an incredible year! BAAL MANDIR WEEKLY UPDATE The last Baalmandir day was amazing and we certainly ended on a high. After an energetic prarthna session with main kendra, we had an intense kawayat session. Although it was hot, we were so proud that they were determined to complete dau 1 to 13 of kalestanics knowing it would be their last session. Then began the main fun! A relaxing asano session under the tree restored their energy ready for games session. All the chairs and balloons were ready for musical chairs and musical statues. The seniors kindly offered to be our DJs and the whole atmosphere in the sun was great. To end their graduation day, we had a presentation and award session with the parents. The baalako were super excited to find out the winning house (team fire!) and the most excited about receiving their treat from us. We are all so happy to have had such a great, lively and funny bunch of baalako. We're excited to see you next year and see you grow throughout your time at Shishukunj :) Dates for your Diary
