All,

Last Saturday, a few of the organizing members of CTC took out 20 kids from Angel's orphanage on a one day picnic to Nagada.

We didn't open this invitation to the entire group in order to keep the participation limited. The 6-13 year olds walked for a small distance along a mountain stream with clear running water inside a lush green valley. The kids had the time of their life. To be honest they were actually doing a better job walking across river boulders then some of our new adult members ;-)

In the future I want CTC to contribute once in a while to a good social cause in between our regular treks. If anyone out there has any good ideas, please let me know.

Here are the photos taken by Samyak - CTC's resident photographer -

Hi Peter,
     My 2 cents of thought.
     I would recommend CTC conducting some talent competition amongst the children, maybe drawing competition or something. This may prove to be an encouragement and maybe bring out some hidden talent.
     Also, in my opinion, it would be ideal to teach these kids about environment protection and maintenance of greenery (growing trees and plants). Being their age and environment that they grow up, these are bound to make an clear impact in their minds and may prove beneficial in the long run.

Regds,
Ramki
