Girls get a week off for Christmas and New Year. We try to keep various fun activities to engage the girls. Here is an account of what they did in those holidays:
Picnic
We took the girls on a picnic on December 28th for a day to the Bans – a water park, near Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh.

We started off at 8:00 AM and reached our destination by 10:00 AM and right away got into the swimming pool. There were water themed events namely Rain Dance, Wave Pool, and Waterfalls. Our staff and students enjoyed their time in the water parks till they have no strength left.

Then we replenished ourselves with our favorite dishes at the in-house restaurant before we went to the indoor games room where our girls enjoyed playing computer and other games. We took lots of pictures before we returned to the Hope House by 6:30 PM.
It is one of our supporters who paid for the entire picnic and made this a possibility and we say thanks to him and his entire family.

Movie night
On the 30th of December, we took the girls to watch a movie called ‘Dangal’. It is a biopic of a gentleman from the rural background of India but chose to train his daughters to learn to play wrestling. They go on to win laurels at Commonwealth Games.

Showing a very well made movie was an effort to instill self-confidence in the girls to believe that they too can achieve whatever they set their minds on. We believe that it is the culmination of such efforts for an extended period of time is what brings out the best in the Hope House girls. Expressions by various girls after the movie were worth listening to as they were competing with each other as to what they would be doing.
Here again, one of our supporters paid for the movie and made it a possibility and we say thanks to him and his entire family.
