School Picnic
The annual school picnic to
Sanjay Gandhi National Park was held in the month of
February and it is a day that is everyone waits for with
enthusiasm and excitement. The picnic was planned and
organised by Aaba Saheb (Mr. Ramesh Deo) and our director Mr
Ajinkya Deo. The children sang songs in the bus, on their
way to the park where they were taken for the lion and tiger
safari. Just being in the park, in the midst of nature was
very relaxing and therapeutic for the children. The safari
was followed by a sumptuous lunch after which the children
relaxed in tents for a while. The children enjoyed the train
ride and went home exhausted but euphoric. |
