When she took part in Landmark Education’s Self-Expression and Leadership Programme, Anjali Goyal wanted to bring joy to underprivileged children, who can’t usually afford the entertainments that many children take for granted. Goyal has worked to create EntertainKids, a group partnering with governments, NGOs and other groups to have shows put on specifically for children.
As the first step and as her project in Landmark Education’s SELP, Goyal arranged a movie show for 180 children from Bangalore, which took place on 1st April at the Galaxy Theatre. The movie shown was Care of Footpath, which was chosen to relate specifically to the lives of the children attending – it’s about a child of humble beginnings who learns to excel in school and become educated.
