17 December Updates

Yesterday was a long but fruitful day at Anjali House. The COMMA team conducted lessons in two groups: the Children Comm. and the Youth Comm.

Children Comm
For the Children's side, our theme of the day was Christmas (The Joy of Giving). As part of the spirit of Giving, we taught the children how to make pouches, not for themselves but to be given to other children.

We split up to help children from each table with their pouches

Youth Comm

For the Youth side, our theme of the day was Teamwork. To illustrate this concept, we held several games for the Anjali youth to let them experience the importance of teamwork, before ending with a debrief to explain the takeaways which can be gained from the games.
