Testimony On Silver Jubilee<br />
"Hey, beautiful people! I hope whoever reading<br />
this right now is having an amazing day!<br />
I would like to share a few thoughts on what<br />
Anweshana Montessori House of Children<br />
means to me.<br />
As people would say, home is where is the<br />
heart is. That's what I would consider<br />
Anweshana to me as it has made me what I<br />
am, as a person, given me a basic foundation<br />
to live life the right way and to treat all people<br />
with utmost respect. I joined Anweshana in the<br />
year, 2000. I was a pretty tiny tot back then.<br />
Well, I could say that my parents made the<br />
best decision of their lives to make me be a<br />
part of such a wonderful school. I am<br />
absolutely blessed to have received my<br />
education from Anweshana as it was no<br />
ordinary school. I had the privilege to learn<br />
everything, the way I wanted. The first word<br />
that we all learnt in the school was Namaste,<br />
which means greetings in the utmost respect.<br />
Well, isn't that enough for you to know how<br />
awesome my school is?<br />
Anweshana is what has moulded me into an<br />
independent, responsible, and a happy go<br />
lucky person after being able to go through the<br />
whole Montessori Method of learning. The<br />
multiple excursions, the early morning yoga<br />
sessions, the mid - day singing classes, the<br />
rolling of the mats, the world books, the Melas<br />
we had every year, the eco-friendly way of<br />
living and everything that happened in<br />
Anweshana are what I'm nostalgic about every<br />
day and I can't imagine experiencing all of this<br />
in any other school. Hence, I am forever<br />
grateful to all my teachers, friends, Akkas,<br />
Shakti uncle and Mariappa Uncle for learning a<br />
new lesson of life every day.<br />
I was pretty devastated to leave Anweshana and join a<br />
public school in my later years as it was a completely<br />
different environment compared to that of Anweshana.<br />
That claustrophobic feeling of having being restricted<br />
to learn what I want came into existence and the<br />
whole idea of school changed for me.<br />
Well, in short, I believe, once a student of Anweshana,<br />
always a student of Anweshana!<br />
Thank you!"<br />

There is a school that we can’t imagine.<br />
It is like the place we are meant to be.<br />
It is the place where we learn happily.<br />
It is the place where we have a lot of fun.<br />
It is my school it is my school it is my school<br />
Anweshana.<br />
It is the place where we have so much to do.<br />
It is the place where children wear colourful clothes.<br />
It is the place where we learn to save our planet.<br />
It is my school it is my school it is my school<br />
Anweshana.<br />
