New Centre - New Beginnings

The start of the month commenced with the senior boys and Vijay shifting all belongings to the new centre. The boy's effort was commendable and really reflected their commitment to Parichay as a whole. The boys loaded many heavy items in to the rickshaw alone, then transported the rickshaw alone without the assistant of any adult!
Such actions are always an important reminder of the bond in Parichay and the common ideal that runs throughout the project.


It is heartwarming to see the project entirely in one place, now Parichay has both physical and emotional unity. Now that all of the belongings and fittings are firmly in place, I have made a video of the new centre in action, along with some pictures of Parichay at it's new home.

In addition to this, the new centre will allow for much more activities to be facilitated. I saw this in action today, when the senior boys cooked a very delicious macaroni dish! I have already suggested some new ideas to which Vijay was very receptive. The fabric off-cuts which are used to make wallets could also make wonderful handmade stuffed animal toys.
