An Evening well spent at Happy Hours Workshop, Bandra.
Cerebral Palsy Association of India and Happy Hours Workshop created an event, their artshow to be judged by me, and hopefully i was totally fair and just to the most clear hearted souls, Our Most Loving Angels...!!!

Most of these students have symptoms like

- Physical impairment, yet teach others to love and live with smiles always...!

Manjusha Singh, the head in charge originally from Lucknow, had the urge to do something different and was helping the blind, till the 2 year course at NIMH, hyderabad, changed her vision and her entire life. This bubbly, every smiling, very positive lady is totally dedicated to these wonderful souls at Happy Hours Workshop. She and her caring husband have adopted a daughter Arumima from this workshop itself and are taking care of all her needs, inclusive of a medical history that required surgery and hospitalization., love and care. Additionally, she has hired a domestic help to be with her all time.
My very Dear School Friend, Salima Kazani, a very cheerful,highly talented and patient lady,is totally into voluntary service introduced me to this nest and lured me to judge this art event created by them which had children from many schools all over Mumbai and around 97 participating students, with most sincerity, neatness, color aesthetics which would have many wonder in awe...!!!
Her son Zameer is a student here, who creates the most awesome jewellery, under her guidance.
This event took me so long to check due to their finesse, skill, and color sense which was oh so accurtate.
Happy Hours have to help to keep these wonderful students occupied on a day to day basis, hence have 9 teachers, 54 students all which goes on from 11 am-4pm. Open all days except Sunday.
