SAMARPAN – Celebrating the special bond between children and their grandparents is truly a very special event at Shanti Asiatic School, which was held on Friday, October 29, 2010. Children are the pillars of tomorrow – the pillars of coming time. Are we nurturing them into becoming healthy human beings? Do we make them a good human – one with virtues and values?
Our Indian culture is rich and varied but many children are not able to realize its value. Lifestyle changes have struck many families and the sense of family identity, values, belief and principles is a big question mark in the lives of many children.
SAMARPAN is an attempt not only to instill the sense of belongingness and identity with our roots in our students; it is also to cherish the loving and unique relation that exists between grandparents and children.
The programme at SAS showed the various facets of the unique relationship. Being demanding, having tantrums, appeasing and soothing are some of these. These sentiments were lovingly expressed by the young students singing time old favorite songs for grandparents. The different equations existing in families and how it impacts our value and virtue system was presented brilliantly by the depiction of ‘Vikram and Baital’ skit. A reality check through a questionnaire explored interestingly the intensity of bonding not only with children but also between parents and grandparents. Several games and activities were specially designed to bring light fun-filled moments which will make the grandparents cherish the evening for a long time
