International Volunteer Day 2011

SIF in-field volunteer, Vemala, has just completed six months teaching children from slums in a school in Bangalore

The theatre event brought the curtain down on an eventful day, which also saw the SIF and the KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital signing a MoU

They highlighted the power and life-long impact volunteerism has on individuals, communities and the world

Through movement, sound and cloth, Tapestry actors spontaneously

And though reticent at first, volunteers, as well as friends who had not yet volunteered, were soon enough sharing some of their stories

The audience was given a comfortable space to recount and relive memorable parts of their volunteer journeys at The Arts House

To celebrate IV Day and to recognise their contributions, SIV and their friends were treated by the SIF to an evening with Tapestry Playback Theatre
