Every now and then, we volunteers are asked to take part in some function and prepare a little entertainment program. For our batch it started last year at the annual JC-event, for which we wrote a gripping English fairy-tale – a heavily altered version of Snow White with a strong environmental message -, learned an Indian dance, and sung the Indian pop song “Jinke Marina”, amongst others.

This time we had another week to freshen up and improve our existing program. Again, we danced, again we sung, but we added an energetic new choreography to our glorious interpretation of “Jinke Marina”, a romantic love song that seems at times more like a war cry. Our “Snow White” drama benefited even more from his week of rehearsals. We translated the drama into Kannada, the local language, to the demise of some actors but obvious delight of the audience.

And our next short performance is already booked: Sunday, April 4th will see us dancing and singing for 10 minutes in Vagjyothi school for the celebration of their 50th anniversary.
