Sixty Two years of being a republic
called for a celebration. And celebration it was as the children of our
Sharavati Kannada Higher primary school came together to pay homage to our
national leaders. The school came alive as children across all age groups
danced and sang the glory of our nation. There were monologues, dialogues and
dramas painted some of the events that catalysed our national independence. It
was a moment of pride not just because of our history, but also because of the
performance delivered by each and every child at the school that day.
Their talent and confidence, in spite
of limited exposure in the rural settings as usual was amazing. At every step,
they displayed the spirit to learn, experiment and deliver. These are occasions
when they learn to work as a team. Be it a dance, group song or a drama, they
were one unit matching rhythm, step and energy. It only made us realize that
lack of opportunity should not become a reason or these children to remain
incognito. Their potential needs be fuelled.
The function saw the presence of two
of our guests- Mrs. Barbara from Uk and Mr. Shyam from Argentina. They were
extremely imposed with the enthusiasm shown by the children. The members of the
Jayanagar Lions club were also present at the school to encourage the students.
