Happy New year to all of you :) Wish all your good dreams come true in the days ahead :)
We celebrated Christmas last week in our own way by becoming a one-day Santa. Karthik from Infosys told us about the "Become a Santa" initiative being done by Sneham group. We thought of doing the same in our own path - gifting children with items that motivates them to learn.
The Sunday before Christmas, Senthil and Karthik went to PUSH, collected the wish list of children there. Children selected their desires from the the list of items such as Bharathiyar Kavithaigal, Oil Painting materials, Puzzle books etc. They also came out with their own wish. Naveeen for example, asked for a Englsh-Tamil dictionary which was not in our list. We then started buying the items in the following week and on the day of Christmas, we distributed the items they had wished. We took only 3 photos during the day of Christmas, which can be seen here.
We also played the Christma-ChristChild game in a different manner. We would like to keep this as suspense until one of our Shubodayans come up to express it in the comments section. Let us see who would be the first?
P.S 1: Title of this post is reminiscent of the email subject we sent during the invitation. We actually became one-day Santa only on the day of the Christmas and not before we invited you all :)
P.S 2 : Shruti, Pradeep and all others who didnt want to express their anger on us for not publishing the happenings immediately, Apologies from us. We would try to correct this mistake in future.
