Children's Day Celebrations were held on 14th November 2011 at the High Court of Delhi. This day was organised by India's National Legal Services Authority, with the High Court of Delhi, Delhi State Legal Services Authority and the Family Courts of Delhi.
I was there. I was there with the BBA. It was a day for children, organised by children with dancing, magic, bouncy castle, lots of food and sweets and many, many children's treats.
The boys from Bal Ahsram performed a play: acting out child labourers, police, corrupt employers and their own rescue. Other children from other parts of India danced and sang and many spoke passionately about children's rights.
The day ended up with me piling into the back of a jeep full of boys and balloons - and as we drove north through the bumpy roads not a single balloon popped as euphoria eventually turned to sleep. For me that the balloons remained in tact - yet played with endlessly for several days after (until they finally deflated!) seems to sum up the spirit and personalities these beautiful children.
