I spent a day at the Akanksha center last week. 7 students, myself and principal went to the center to teach students games. The mission of Akanksha is to prepare young people from less privileged backgrounds with education and skills to help them reach their full potential.
It was really an amazing day. The center had about 60 students between the ages of 9-11. ASB students had a good time teaching them some "get to know you" games and arts. (I think they learned a lot...including empathy for their own teachers.) I look forward to going back in the Spring.

There is no greater characteristic for a child to learn than empathy. LOVE the photos.
Its nice to see so many smiling faces. I hope that people there are able to smile again soon. Have you heard much about who is to blame for the Mumbai attacks?
