Christmas SEVA in Oragne Farm

I had the opportunity to make a difference this Festive Season, to the children at Orange Farm Kidz Clinic. The Art of Living Foundation & its sister organization, The International Association for Human Values, Pick 'n Pay and Nashua hosted the Xmas Party, while Volunteers entertained and facilitated Yoga and Art Classes to the disadvantaged children at the clinic.

Being Pregnant, I got to express my creativity as one of Santa's helpers... Jotting down and naming individual gifts for all 95 who had arrived. We even had some extra arrivals and their gifts had to be hand picked and wrapped on the spot... While I was mindfully busy in Santa's workshop, I could hear laughter as they enjoyed on the Jumping Castles, roar of Lions during the Sri Sri Yoga Session and their cheers as Santa finally made his appearance with a big sack and P 'n P Trolley bursting with gifts from the North.

I did get to take a break from my task, to enjoy a delicious Pink-Cupcake with face-painted young girls and boys, as well as take part in their dancing competition which brought me to happy-tears, being surrounded be so much child-like spontaneity! A wonderful day was had by all and I'd like to thank Vauldi and others involved for making it happen smoothly & with much joy :-)

AOL Volunteers... :-)
