HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS...BUT ONLINE What is Christmas for you? A time of the year which is full of joy and happiness and one celebrates with their loved ones, singing Christmas carols, eating mouth-watering delicacies along with the fun of decorating Christmas tree and our houses, getting together, exchanging gifts and so on. Children especially wait for Santa Clause to arrive with goodies. This year, the pandemic seems to have put all festivities to a halt, but we should not lose hope. Instead, it is time to spend some memorable moments together in the festival of happiness.   Where there is a will, there is a way. At CRY, we made this our motive and tried to find ways through which we could impart this true message of Christmas to our cheerful children and have lots of fun and learning!

   QUIZZING       during the times of covid It has been months since we are stuck in our homes owing to Covid-19 which to some extent exhausted us. Children faced severe impact due to this lockdown. They miss going out and playing with their friends, going to school, and getting involved in multiple activities. So we at  CRY,  planned a quiz for the children wherein they would learn while having fun right from their homes. So, in our Masti ki Paathshala series, we organized a quiz called 'Kaun Banega Gyanpati'. There were three rounds in this quiz. The first round was named  Dekho or Pehchano.  In this, the children were shown pictures of various renowned personalities of the country including Sachin Tendulkar, Kiran Bedi, and were asked to identify them. In the second round  Choose Right,  basic questions were asked and the children had to pick the right answer from the four given options. Then we had our final and the most interesting  Buzzer Round.  Hence, the quiz session w

CELEBRATING DIWALI AT HOME Usually, when we think of Diwali, a warm image of brightly lit diyas against the dark of the night pops in the mind instantly along with the bustling hullabaloo of market melas, families meeting up, sharing gifts, and so on. Children especially, have the time of their lives during Diwali, but as we seem to be stuck in a never-ending quarantine, it’s no secret that the festivities are going to be different this time around. However, there’s always a way to have lots of fun by adding a zing of creativity and at CRY we tried to do exactly that for our children! On November 8th Diwali celebrations kicked off early for children at CRY however this time with a virtual twist. Despite the prevailing pandemic putting usual festivities to a halt, the children’s spirits were in no way dampened and they enthusiastically participated in the ‘Masti Ki Pathshala’ held via zoom call from the comfort of their homes. Starting with a poetic narration of the Ramayana, the childr

What makes this day so special? Well, this is the single day in the whole year solely dedicated to all interns, volunteers, fundraisers, content creators, and mentors. The decoration team worked for weeks to put up charts mentioning the various achievements of each intern and volunteer. On IVD, we recognize, acknowledge and reward all the people who work with CRY for their unconditional support to the organization.  Veronica and Smriti started with an open letter that highlighted the amazing work done by the CRY volunteers and interns.
