Over 700 people gathered at the JFS School in Kingsbury on Sunday 10 July to celebrate Shishukunj London’s 40th Birthday.
Despite the weather hundreds of children and their parents took part in a fun-filled event that included traditional Indian games, a delicious lunch prepared by the Shishukunj Parents Association and a fantastic entertainment programme put on by the children. The most inspiring part of the day was the fact that nothing had been outsourced – Shishukunj showed off the best of itself and relied on its own volunteers to deliver a fantastic event.
Shishukunj London also recognised several of its volunteers who had dedicated considerable service to ensuring that the work of this great organisation continued and expanded over the last 40 years. Awards recipients included Dipak Shah (who now runs Shishukunj Vidyalaya in Bangalore), Daksha Shah, Chagan Dabhi and Bharat Dhanani.
Dharmina Shah who organised the event said, "the aim of today was for us to celebrate the spirit of Shishukunj over the last 40 years. We have accomplished so much even though we are quite a small organisation and we felt it was important for us to come together as a family and recognise the strength of our achievements together."
