Despite the summer heat, our rooftop was buzzing with pure joy and creativity this week! We had the absolute pleasure of hosting an incredible -making workshop yesterday at 1:30 pm, led by two wonderful guest artists visiting all the way from Germany and Spain.
Our amazing children with hearing loss, along with their parents, dived right into the magic of crafting. They didn't just learn how to transform simple paper into beautiful puppets— they unlocked a whole new way to share their stories!
By moving their handmade puppets to demonstrate different actions, the children found a brilliant, expressive new tool for communication.

: Huge thanks to our Spanish visitors for bringing their passion and expertise!

Watching the children use their dolls to express themselves was truly magical.
: Not even the hot weather could cool down the enthusiasm on the rooftop!
Everyone left with a big smile, a beautiful doll, and memories that will last a lifetime. The requests are already rolling in, so stay tuned—more puppet-making magic is definitely on the horizon!
We are thankful to Mr Antonio Mesas Garcia of Fundación Colores de Calcuta for arranging the resource persons. Special thanks to Mr. Jose Antonio Garcia, Spain, and Ms. Lucienne Weigel, Germany, of Paperformances, for conducting the programme for our children and parents.
