The hostel children usually celebrate the New Year in their own homes in Charan, but this time the children brought in the New Year at the hostel with a party. The children show pictures and describe this happy event on their own web site makingconnection.org in the following words:
“Every year we celebrate the New Year at different places. But this year’s event was different from all the others. This year we celebrated the New Year party in our hostel and this event was unforgettable for us. We had started it with competitions such as singing, modelling, painting and a quiz competition between boys and girls. Most of the children participated in the different activities and some children were selected for the best performance in different activities… Winners got beautiful prizes. After that we enjoyed our dinner with momo and delicious soup. Also we had DJ party till 10:30 pm. We all enjoyed the party very much, at the same time we all children wished Happy New Year to our teachers, families and all our sponsors and supporters.”
