Joy Fest….



"Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven."

After the success of the Ramzan project, our next item on the "to-do" list was the joy fest.
We visited an orphanage for construction worker’s kids where there were roughly about 30 kids between the ages of 3-12. We had an exquisite time, watching a little "Shah Rukh Khan" perform to the tune of "dard-e-disco"
the children there took to us in a fraction of a heart beat.
We also had arranged for a small diya painting activity and a tattoo artist was also called to add on to the fun.
biryani and gulab jamuns were arranged for their lunch.

This experience has been embossed in my memory for eternity. The smiles on the kids faces were extended from ear to ear.
We all clicked pictures with them where each one of the kids got their own 15 seconds of fame!!!
They say "The key to happiness is having dreams. The key to success is making dreams come true.” This is what we tried to accomplish at the joy fest. It couldn't get better than this!
