Sandipani Muni School Children were fortunate to have Vivek Oberoi amongst them for this Holi celebrations.
Vivek went with the children to the Yamuna river bank and played Holi, really it was a color fight, Vivek was overwhelmed by the many girls from the school, he lost the battle.
Afterwards Vivek visited Radha Raman Temple and Banke Behari Temple where the pujari gave him abundant blessing in the form of scented water, flower petals and powders.
The day concluded with a stage presentation by Sandipani Muni School children, with dances and songs. In an interview to various TV channels Vivek commented, "it has been the best Holi of my life".
Vivek’s Project DEVI (Development and Empowerment of Vrindavan Girls Initiative) aims at securing a future for Sandipani Muni School girls. The first initiative will be the construction of a Children’s home where the orphaned girls will have a sheltered life and the affections that they so much need.
Food for Life Vrindavan is changing lives. With our educational programs (Sandipani Muni Schools and adult education), medical services, social development and more, we give the needy - especially children - a chance to learn, to live, to earn; eventually pulling their whole families out of the vicious cycle of poverty and desperation.
