While a few employees visited the old age home to make the harvest festival memorable for the elders; the kids on the other end were in for an edutainment experience of a lifetime.
At the old age home, a few women were donned in bright sarees, some looking gleeful at the brimming pot and the decorations while the employees at Zebronics were busy cooking and serving up a good dollop of Pongal glazed with ghee. After a hearty meal, around they gathered for round of music, dance and karaoke with Mr. Rajesh Doshi. Goodie bags were given to the elders, you could easily spot the smiles as they saw new sarees.
While the children from the orphanage were in for a bliss with the planetarium experience, this being their first time to an edutainment center, Kamesh, a 9 year old said ‘The stars looked as if they we’re so close to us, it felt so real’ expressing his interest in science he said “I learnt more about mars and how it looked” he added .Apart from the the planetarium, the kids thoroughly enjoyed the 3D experience, the informative museum and the park. After a heavy lunch with the director everyone was overjoyed receiving goodie bags with new clothes and still had the enthusiasm to their next destination which was the Anna Centenary Library.
