A YES!+ Marathon

Last 3 weeks have been a roller coaster ride for us (and our goregaon YES!+ team).


Bawa and Dinesh were in town for 21 days!!! And we had a blast! Lots of work and lots of masti!!




Here is what we did in those 21 days:
4 YES!+ courses - reaching out to a total of about 700 students! (This includes the 1st ever 3 day YES!+ course - called the YES!+ Foundation course)




Fruit salad competetion at GSC)




The highlight was the finale (last day celebrations)at the upcoming Vasind Ashram


1 DSN for 55 students (we did some amazing innovative stuff on this DSN)




(On the left ,Bau consoling the poor dog who was traumatized by the enthusiasm of the seva warriors.On the right,Dinesh da sharing his musical skills)


2 Sahaj courses for about 60 students
Other programs like Financial Literacy and Mathemagic for about 150 students. A brilliant talk at IIT Powai for 400+ students!



And of course, our very first, YES!+ TRM - now called the 'YES!+ Huddle', at a unbelievably beautiful beach in Maharashtra where we spent crazy time playing in the sea and chalked out our game plan for the next 1 year!! 140 teachers and volunteers from all over India attended!









Of course we spent hours learning how to play board games with bau, and we are now good at this superb game called 'Ticket to Ride', and ate some magestic food that Bau cooked!
It was truly learning and fun going hand in hand!


We are missing them and all the action!


Love
Cheers
