So we never got around to writing about our experiences working with Swechha in New Delhi, Atish teaching song & I teaching dance. It really is a shame because it was such a wonderful experience for us, but it's too late now to try to write the details.
We did manage to put together this miniature amateur documentary about our time there and the school's growth and students. It does a much better job of describing the community than any blog entry could have. We made this video in part to raise awareness and in part to show our gratitude to our friends and family that helped us raise $1000 for the school's new library and development.
There are 2 parts, each about 12 minutes long.
