28th March,2014
Dilshad Garden
On 28th march 2014 Arwachin international school celebrated  its annual day on the theme “Let’s Build a Better World with Hope” .Great pride,  enthusiasm and zeal in every student and every  teacher made the occasion very special, though the weather was inclement .This year, our chief guest was Mrs. Madhu Pant, an  ex-director at National Bal Bhavan.
This year Arwachinians took the initiative to do something innovative, informative inspiring and motivational. Through a judicious mix of PPTs, Plays on social evils, sonorous songs and enthralling dances The Arwachinians sought to acquaint their spectators with the problems being faced by mother earth and humanity today. They then went on to give a message of hope to the spectators.
 The evening commenced with the welcome song and lighting of the lamp.  First the students sought the blessings of Lord Ganesh by dancing to the beats of the song “Deva Shri Ganesha”.
 The students brought the social malaise as well as problems faced by Nature due to human greed  into focus through a PowerPoint presentation and a mime, which stole away the hearts of the spectators. Added to this were the scary facts stated by Mr. Alexander Francis.The revelation  left a prolonged  effect in the hearts of the parents. The students  presented  the vigorous dance of “Tandav” which Lord Shiva is said to perform to re balance energies in the cosmos every time evil becomes dominant in this world.
The first social issue brought into the light was “Child Labour”, through a play and a  French song. The play depicted the hard lives of the children who lose their childhood after falling victim to human malpractices at tender ages. Next was the play “Respect for Elders”. It portrayed the plight of the aged after they have been discerned by their own children. Growing old is the eternal law of universe and no can escape it. Then why do  the old people have to be  forsaken by their own families? But here, the overall development of an Arwachinian is a beautiful amalgam of social values and the Indian ethos . The Arwachinians have always been taught to respect their elders . And through the Japanese song the students showed their love and respect for their parents. Next in line was the play titled “Risky Whisky”, highlighting the fact that alcohol is a waste of time as it destroys one’s memory self respect and self esteem. But its never too late to change .Music and dance speak what cannot be expressed;  they soothe the  mind and give it rest and heal one’s wound. Keeping this fact in mind, the Arwachinians sang a beautiful song “Remedy”. The last play revolved around the injustice, pain and suffering faced by  women and also the power of women to raise her voice against the injustice . The Hindi songs following the play reminded every woman present that evening that she was the lifeline of the world and within her the entire universe exists. The finale dance was the crust of the programme, spreading just one message “Always look up to the future with the sparkle of hope and never give up!”
The parents were next acquainted with the national and international achievements of the school. The school created history when twenty four of its students participated in the school National Netball Tournament. Keeping their hard work and dedication to succeed in mind, the Director gave away track-suits to every player.The next big achievement of the school was the school winning the first runner-up position at the prestigious  International Children’s Festival of performing Arts Ballet /Dance Drama Competition. The Arwachinians students had to jostle with participants from 22 countries.
 
 The evening concluded  with a very  inspiring speech delivered by the Chief Guest Mrs Madhu Pant who  gave  the message that if we want to see light all around then we have to kindle the flame of love, hope and wisdom in our own heart put there by the Creator. This message happily coincided with  the message the Arwachinians sought to give to their parents and the world.
The evening drew to a close with brief message from the Directors  Mr. Arun Sharma and Mrs. Sandra Swarup . The Principal Mrs. Gracy Peter thanked and congratulated the students and the teachers profusely.
