CORE KENDRA WEEKLY UPDATE This week kendra activities were organised by baalako who went on the 'Sewa 17 trip' to India in 2017, and baalako who went on the 'Bharat Darshan Trip' in 2018. Baalako were given a flavour of what the 2 trips involved, including the chance to play some new traditional indian games that our baalako learnt in Gujurat, a baudhik giving an insight into the schools, ashrams and villages that our baalako visitied and an energetic prathna bhajan and dhoon session where baalako learnt a bit more about the importance of spirituality and hope. A video that summarised the Sewa 17 trip was shown and can be viewed by following this link (worth a watch!)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRqeBiJYLtY&t=2 BAAL MANDIR WEEKLY UPDATE Baalako this week enjoyed learning some new balgeets, as well as learning a little bit more about Shishukunj. Some of our basic commands- Hukamo, were revisited with the baalako. Baalako then headed outside for an extended games session where they learnt some new Shishukunj games. Dates for your Diary
