Independence Day



August 15th marked the 60th anniversary of Indian independence. Traditionally schools hold special ceremonies to celebrate the day. I was honored to be invited to Grace Kids Centre creche for the occasion. It is the custom for the children to portray various characters from the independence movement. I'm not sure who this young man was meant to be, but he took his role very seriously and his lines were loud and clear. Some of the other children performed dances including this little girl dressed up in a saree for her performance. The morning ended with the children being presented with their new creche uniforms by visiting dignitaries and then sweets for all!
