Living in Karachi keeps most of our Book Worms indoors, out of the sun, delving deeply into our hoards of books, but once the weather gets cooler , the Book Worms are out in the open, making memories, getting messy and having fun! So once the winter was on the outdoor fun began.. firstly with our Annual Mela!
Hosted graciously by Dr. Mehreen Khan, this year to give the Mela a twist, we had a Rainbow theme, each stall represented a different colour of the Rainbow. Needless to say the stalls were radiant; ranging from games, crafts, earring sales, as well as a magic show courtesy of Hassan and Amina Shaikh (who dressed up as a clown to entertain her fellow Book Worms). Another highlight was an interview of Busy Lil Hands entrepreneurs Haneen Iqbal and Safiyyah Iqbal, conducted by Ayesha Shaikh. Little Sofya Jamal worked hard to set up her stall for a worthy cause, giving herself and her fellow Book Worms the opportunity to help our Syrian brothers and earn a higher rewards as well insha'Allah.
The little ones were handed Book Worms Book play money to spend independently . Subhan'Allah the children do take this quite seriously, counting it, pondering over the cost of items, seeking change...
