Asha-Kiran has just opened its first nursery for children up to three years old as part of its Community Project, in the same building where we carry out activities and training courses for children, youngsters and women in the community. Delighted about this new initiative, many mothers brought their young children and the rest of their families to the inauguration ceremony.
We renovated an entire floor of the Community Center so that the facilities would be suitable for this purpose. Blessed by Ganesha, the ceremony opened the door to a new form of support for working mothers who now have a welcoming and safe place where their young children can play, learn and be cared for.
After the ceremony, Deepa (our new director in India), Hansa and Uttam gave a short speech to those present. Meanwhile, with eyes wide open, the children explored and enjoyed their new space. In the questions and answers round, what we heard most was: “Could you extend the timetable?” We also heard comments like “This nursery is better than any other around”.
The event ended amidst laughter, games and songs.
