Class on making Bracelets

It was very nice of Sandeep, to drop by APD  (Association of people with disability) on 12th Feb to teach us wristbands. Anitha coordinated this entire effort.

He taught us to make them with the waste bottles and wool!! Folks at APD were excited about learning the new art and quickly lapped it up. Once the bracelet was made, it looked very pretty and no one could guess from what it could have been made.

 

New Center "Shishu Mandir" - By Anitha

Meera got to know about Shishu Mandir through Suman, and proposed we start classes there. We visited Shishu Mandir on Jan 29^th, met the heads of Shishu Mandir – Mr. Seshagiri and Mr. Anand. We decided to start off at Shishu Mandir.

Anitha started our regular classes at Shishu Mandir from 10 Feb 2011. She had nearly 6 girls (studying in 8th and 9th std) and 8 older girls (who come to learn

stitching) in this batch.

Anitha started with quilling and all girls were very keen to learn. Six young girls were very quick to learn and one girl with whatever shapes she had made a face with it.

The man was standing and watching these girls work. Suddenly he came to Anitha and asked for a quilling strip and started rolling the strip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anitha be going every Thursday to Shishu Mandir from 8am to 9.30am. Anyone interested to join can do so.

 

Birthday order by Suman

Meera showcased the photo frames and fridge magnets to her colleague Suman, who was planning for her daughter's birthday on 4th Feb 2011. Suman, liked them and ordered 10 big photo frames, 36 small photo frames and 82 fridge magnets as return gifts for Zara's class mates and teachers. We were really excited about this order.

We got the parent's wing of Association of People with Disabilty to work on it. This was their first big order for photo frames. But they did a very neat work of the entire lot of the photo frames; I sat with them for about 6 photo frames so that they learn the quilling and assembling it. They did a very neat work of the entire quilling work on the entire lot of photo frames.

Anitha, Lakshmi and me got together and made the magnets so that the money goes to “Living Raaga” funds.

Suman was really pleased and happy at the products, quality and packaging of the products. She did send out a note to her team about “Living Raaga” and our products and also recommended us. :-)

At the end, it was a lovely experience for all of us.
