The theme for the below 5 year age group was not pre-decided, children between 5 and 9 years were asked to draw on the theme of children playing in a playground, while children between 9 to 12 years were asked to draw a scenery from nature. The children used their imagination very well to come up with a very nice exhibition of their talent.

Holi and Lunch

A total of 125 members participated in the Holi lunch programme, amid festivities and with their faces colourfully adorned.
