Parikrma Humanity Foundation is a non-profit organization in Bangalore city. Currently, it is transforming education for underserved children from different slums in the city. Parikrma manages the entire education cycle from kindergarten to college for each child. The foundation operates the schools from four different locations in Bangalore. One of the schools is the TNT Parikrma Centre for Learning, in Koramangala. This centre had held the annual christmas day celebrations for the children couple of days before the vacation. I visited the centre on that particular day. Present in this gallery are photographs documenting the mood at the centre on that day.
