Twenty five students (aged 9 to 12) from Ebenen School of Languages in Torrejon de Ardoz, Spain, and the children from one of Asha-Kiran’s Day Care Centers for Migrant Children in Pune, India, came together for a videoconference on March 27.
Victor Natalías, who works at A-K Spain, went over to the school to tell parents, students and teachers about the projects that Asha-Kiran carries out with disadvantaged children in India.
The children asked each other questions about what their life was like here and there, sang songs, read poems, acted out short plays, danced... a rewarding and exciting experience that all the children and teachers truly enjoyed. It was wonderful to see the children’s faces and their shiny, eager eyes on both sides of the screen.
Both Ebenen’s and Asha-Kiran’s kids ended up with huge smiles on their faces, saying they would like to talk again, share more things and be friends... Two small worlds that met for the first time to find out that they were both the same.
