‘Children, this time our visit is to a different place’, Ammu Aunty told the Candies Club children-members who had gathered in the small garden in their building complex. Aunty’s voice was sober, unlike her usual cheerful tone. The children did not dare to ask her anything and so kept looking at her. ‘We are going to an orphanage’, Aunty continued. ‘So far we have been to various places of interest and I’m sure you have learnt a lot through such visits. This one is going to be different’.
‘I have heard that an orphanage is a place for children who do not have anyone to support them’, said a little one.
‘Yes. An orphanage is devoted to the care of orphaned children, providing them housing, food and education. The one we are going to visit is a great organization that provides its children with a safe and nurturing home, education and thus an opportunity to grow and get ahead in life. And…they do need our help. Are you all willing?’
‘Yes, we do’, was the instant, chorus reply from the children.
‘It’s great you want to help. I really appreciate your response. Let’s meet tomorrow’.

Earthy Expressions
Folk art and tribal art are easily recognizable - bright colours, bold strokes, quaint ways of representing people and animals. Many actually tell a tale! India being a vast country and with so many agricultural communities and tribes living close to nature, many art forms have evolved. Many have all but disappeared. Fortunately, there is an interest in such traditional art forms and efforts are being made to revive some of them. In the next few months, we will embark on a journey learning more about some of such art forms.
