Recently, a group of students from Sishya School, Padmanabha Nagar had indulged in social work. A few students in Sishya are active social workers for Little Hearts, an organization which helps mentally challenged children.
Philomena Bennet, a teacher in Sishya along with a few enthusiastic students decided to set up a fund raiser. They decided to have an entertainment programme for the 'Little Hearts' children. This event was sponsored by the Sishya parents. There were 30 children present from ‘Little Hearts’
The function was held at St. Teresa's Church Hall, Nungambakkam (opp. Ispahani Centre) on April 15. Before the show started all the children were treated to snacks and fruit drinks.
The show started at 5.30pm. First there was a short introduction which dealt with the issue of the problems these children face and how they can be helped. The senior Sishya choir sang a few songs.
Next up, Adithya Prasad, Sishya's very own magician entertained the crowd with his magic tricks. Adithya's English had to be translated into Tamil so that the children could follow.
After this to there were piano recitals. This was followed by solos by Kaveri Narayanan and Neha Mathen. The show ended with a vote of thanks by Philomena Bennet.
The children had a great evening. Provisions were donated to Little Hearts. "We thank Philomena ma'am and our sponsors (the parents) for giving us this opportunity to do something for such less fortunate children. It was a wonderful and satisfying experience," says student Neha Mathen.
