TAARE ZAMEEN PAR…

"A child is a gift of God, a blessing from above, a picture of purity

and innocence. As Rabindranath Tagore says, 'every

child comes with a message that God is not yet discouraged of man'.

Every child is a star on earth, is special, who enriches and cleanses the soul, an empty canvas, waiting

to be painted with love."
