Dear Parents,

Please forward the below communication to the parents of your respective groups.

Dear Parents,

Hamara Mela is conceived as an important community event that includes our children, teachers, parents and a few members of wider society. It is a day to celebrate creative, spontaneous and cooperative experiences of the growing up years.

Organising such an event for a large school, as Shikshantar is now, requires tremendous planning and preparation.

Since the idea is to organise a self-sustaining event, we have followed the traditional model of engaging the Shikshantar community, i.e., our children and families. Sale of tickets to friends, neighbours and families is one necessary part of this contribution. While we understand the reservations some parents have shared with us, we would like you to understand that due diligence has been undertaken to calculate all expected and hidden costs. Sale of tickets contribute to only half the total cost of the event.

Further, we see the opportunity of sharing by children about their favourite school event to friends, neighbours and extended families as a significant way of learning about community exchange. Sometimes, when money comes into play, it seems that the exchange is un-child like. However, if we as adults were to limit it to community exchange, we would be in a position to underplay the role of money. For very young children, this exchange is facilitated by their parents and for older children, it is guided but closely watched by parents.

We urge you to partake in Hamara Mela of 2013 with a spirit of bringing together the Shikshantar community and a special event to celebrate childhood and our 11th year of being.

We look forward to you and your extended family being with us on the 28th of September to smile, create, watch, laugh, eat, sing and smile again.

With warm regards,

Minoti Bahri Sunil Batra Arti Jain
