katha @ shafa

In Succession to “Kudoos” (Pondicherry) 30  students of High School from “Katha” a NGO working in the field of Education and Community Development Since 1988, visited Shafa on 23^rd December.

                The student have already been working towards spreading Awareness about Addiction in their Community.

                The Director along with his team including staff, volunteers and residents brought new ideas to explain the treatment through interactive sessions, Plays and Response Groups. All expectations were done by seeing things from their end and giving them day to day examples which fit in their lifestyle and environment.

                In return the students of `Katha` had also prepared stories, poems and slogans for the occasion, which were performed in front of Shafa Family. The Students shared that from the visit they learned to present themselves with confidence and to be bold.

Moving Ahead with determination.

On 21^st December the theatre work shop took a new turn. Raj chose and gave the resident`s a new posture to sit. He heard the ideas and writings of the residents. He chose a few lines from the writings of one of the resident`s and asked them to perform on it. Meri Kalpana, Meri Soch, Mera Atit, Kya Hai Khas? (My Vision, My Thoughts, My Past, What is so special about it).

                As the resident`s could not impress him. Raj formed two groups of 5 and 4 resident`s. The group of 4 sang the lines and repeated it. The group of 5 acted on a formation on these lines. The team of resident`s were full of energy in the end. Raj left with a promise to teach them a new spot walking style on his next visit.
