Ananya's Thoughts

Hi,

My name is Ananya and I have been working as a volunteer at Kolkata Sanved for the past ten days. When I heard about the organization, I was immediately drawn to it, because I love to dance and the idea of therapy through dance seemed really cool. However, I didn't really know what to expect in terms of work. When I got here, Sohini mashi and everyone on the staff made me feel very welcome. The first few days, I worked with the TOT (Training of Trainers) girls, learning dance and teaching English. After that, I assisted the Senior DMT (Dance Movement Therapy) trainers with their workshops in different places around Kolkata.

I can't believe how much I've managed to learn in just ten days. I had never thought of dance as a therapy before, and it was very interesting to see how that is put into practice by all of the trainers here.

I really hope that when I get back to Spain, where I live, I can spread Kolkata Sanved's message and increase awareness for all that they are fighting for.

-Ananya
