• Mathruchaya Function - Date: 29th Sept 2007, Majority of the programs were by the children whose education is sponsored by Mathruchhaya. The audience included the Old Age Residents and the children. Gifts were given to one and all. This was our first program for an old age home and there were a few shortcomings. However, the General Manager and
  the residents were very kind and told us how to avoid the same in the future. Thank you to all and we will definitely improve on each performance and make the program even more interesting to watch. A note of gratitude to the Manager, Rachael Ma'am and Seema for their
  help and assistance.

• Special Home of Hope Visit - Our first visit to Special Home of Hope on 30 Sept 2007. The children are more alive and bright than one can imagine. Each with strong developed tastes in hobbies, dancing and games. The stories, singing and prayers were enjoyed by all. But it was the dancing that had everyone hooked. From the youngest toddler to the eldest girl all ran to the ground and danced enthusiastically to the self developed songs. All the children were given warm and bright sweaters by the volunteers of the organizations, Calvary Chapel Trust. We also had the opportunity to meet a very talented physically challenged artist who has a side job of the watchman at the Boy's home next door. It is an endeavor of WeCouldBe.org that auctions of his paintings be organized online and at various functions at the earliest.
• Exhibition of Talent - The lovely and enthusiastic girls of the Home of Hope were shown
  the samples and procedures of making crafts that can be displayed and sold to raise revenue. with the exception of the 12 babies in the room, every girl participated and exhibited special talents in painting, sketching and stitching. They grasped the techniques very fast. Even the head warden was in the centre of the room, observing and trying to retain every fold and cut. The girls will be helping make goods for the stall at Forum and subsequently at other places to raise fund not only for their own orphanage but also for Special Home of Hope, the orphanage for HIV positive children.
