We kicked things off with a heartfelt prayer led by our president, Arun. Then came the highlight, indulging in all the amazing food and delicious desserts (worth every bite!). 😋

With happy hearts and full bellies, we moved on to games, men vs women, which brought lots of laughs, friendly competition, and unforgettable moments.

Some of us even took to the mic to show off our singing talents, adding even more fun and laughter to the celebration! 🎤🎶

Such a lovely time spent together, already looking forward to the next one!

Braving the snow on the 23rd of Nov 2024, the S**A group met up for a cozy Brunch at 42nd Pentland Scout Group, Currie. There was good chats and banter over homemade hot foods like Sabudana Vadas, Sajige Bajil, Kesari, Semiya Upma, Anda Burjee and many more mouthwatering dishes alongwith a constant supply of tea and coffees.
Talents like singing were wonderfully displayed. Everyone put on their thinking hats as there was a flurry of riddles to solve. Games and dancing kept us all on our toes too. We enjoyed spending some much needed time as a community.
The children learning konkani took to stage to amaze us with the progress they are making in learning the language.

With good laugh and some dancing we ended the day with warm hearts to fight the cold .
