Learning from the field- Andheri
Date: Wednesday
6th June 2018
Day started out by visiting the Ashadeep centre in Marole (andheri east). This was my first play session. We took a while to find each other on the road and then had to walk almost a km into the community which gave us a good chance to understand the community life. We passed fishing markets, a very pretty church and lots of houses. Outside one house there was a grandmother, her daughter/daughter-in-law cleaning vegetables, and 2 kids playing with some toys and there was music playing from inside and all of them miming the words. We were 3 of us- the field officer, Chloe (my fellow volunteer and me).
When we reached the centre, the children were already busy playing with different toys. They looked so happy to see us and were excited to let us join in and play with them. There was a box of games on the side and it seemed like the children had already picked out their favourite games, made their groups and were all set to get the games started!
