First Sunday at KM
We were so fortunate to have Vinod write out a translation so the children could understand what we were saying. Our new friend Bhavya helped with all of the translating in person that day. (not all the kids are fluent in English….yet!). Bhavya was a student at the Engineering University (congrats on the new job!) and volunteers her time every morning at Operation Shanti. After we thanked her for all she does and for helping us she said, “I am the lucky one that gets to be with them and do this”. Wow.
We started off by showing the video that we made of our students at StarSeeds Preschool expressing their excitement about the playground project and introducing themselves. We wanted this project to be one that connected our students at StarSeeds in San Francisco with the kids at KM (Operation Shanti). Our vision was that, in the end, the playground could be one that everyone helped create.
We told them that, the following Sunday, they would be taking their own photos and helping us make a video. We would be filming them answering the same 3 questions that the StarSeeds were asked. This way, the StarSeeds students would have the opportunity to meet the children at KM they have heard so much about.
Great pics! Thanks for the updates. You guys are doing great work.
Thanks Mase!
I love reading the updates and seeing photos on this blog. You guys have big hearts!! This is such a wonderful project/adventure! Love, the Kays 🙂
Thanks Natalie! Your donation was so sweet. Shanti really appreciated it. Please say hello to everyone for us:) Miss you guys.
The photos of the children are beautiful. They look like angels and they are so nicely dressed. It shows what wonderful care they are getting. And now they have a playground being built for them What a gift you are providing!. I was with a woman last week discussing her childhood and suddenly she started crying as she described her being brought up in an orphanage from birth to the age of fourteen. As painful as that time was for her she had many happy memories. I think the playground project and the photo project will be one of those happy memories for these children. I look forward to the next post!!!! Love, Connie
