As the year ends - the school, the mentors and the children everybody looks forward for their annual function. Our annual function "Infinity" was also being awaited eagerly by all.
Though the program was scheduled for 17th Apr 10' in the evening at 6:00 but its enthusiasm was visible all around the corridors, long before.
As usual our children were also involved in organising the event. The program commenced at the scheduled time with shlokas and saraswati vandana, followed by a speech from our Principal Mrs. Smita Rathore.Then there was a skit followed by a dance of "ananda" children.
Then came our little friends of nursery to present a rajasthani folk dance. It was a wonderful sight to see the nursery kids performing. Most of them were busy searching for their parents amongst the audience, and all those who could manage to see their parents, started their conversation from the stage itself.
Then were several folk dances, like "bamboo dance", "giddah" and skits like "Foolish Rabbit" and "Chanakya". For these dances the songs were sung by the children, music was managed by the children, compering and stage co-ordination was also done by the children.
Watching children of classes 6,7 and 8, doing so well, gave a great sense of achievement.What else could one expect from the children of this age?
Organising and managing an event at this age... taking responsibility of making their event a success... is a big thing. Most of us, even now will think twice before taking such a big responsbility.

Do you think that these qualities, this confidence... can be taught through books? Do you think you'll find it in any curriculum?
No! all this comes when you believe in your children... When you give them freedom... Freedom even to make mistakes, when you apreciate your children for what they are, and do not bully them for what you want them to be...
That is why Indus World School says "know thyself"...
