Just before the year wrapped up, two AquaTerra volunteers headed to Pather Sathi with tinsel, prompts, and a plan to make public speaking fun. Twenty-five children decorated a Christmas tree together while taking turns speaking up with stories and prompts of their own.
The mix of craft and confidence-building worked well, ornaments went up on the tree even as nerves came down. Speak and Sparkle turned a festive activity into a gentle nudge for kids to find their voice, closing out 2024 on a warm, chatty note at Pather Sathi.
