Swaras and More

Magical, melodious evening at Mitr Cafe yesterday, July 21, as Akshara and Kripa enthralled us with a variety of swaras and bhajans.

What was remarkable was that these two young ladies both have vision challenges and therefore had committed their entire repertoire to memory, being proficient "auditory learners".

It was a full house, and the appreciative audience was quick to applaud each part of their performance.

And, as always, there was plenty of food and fun after the concert!

Thanks, Akshara and Kripa for such a heartwarming performance! Many thanks also to their teacher Monali for coaching them so beautifully and organizing the performance.

Last, but never least, heartfelt gratitude to all the friends of Mitr and SCAN who showed up in such large numbers and participated with such enthusiasm.

Santoor Recital

 Karthik Subhash had us spellbound with his santoor recital, a rare treat for Chennaites. Persons with autism usually enjoy music and our kids had a pleasant summer evening.

Sporty Day

We had two demo sessions by renowned football coach Kalpana Dass and Arshad for the technique of Aikido on 7th july.

 Arshad, his son Awadh and the first student Subhashini give a fabulous show of what Aikido can do for being centered and self defence in adverse situations.

 We play games with the football.

Such a large number of people, but we manage to keep the children together and focused.

Thank you Coach Kalpana!
