Children from Slums Enjoy Theatre: A Dream Come True

For many children living in the slums of Lucknow, simple experiences that most take for granted are but a distant dream. On February 9th, 2025, that dream became a reality for a group of children from the free education centers run by Sewa Sankalp. These children, some as young as five years old, experienced the magic of theatre for the very first time, watching the movie “Sky Force” at the Novelty Theatre in Lalbagh.

Children from Slums Enjoy Theatre: A Dream Come True

A First for Many: Experiencing the Big Screen

Sewa Sankalp, an NGO dedicated to the holistic development of children in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Punjab, has been working tirelessly for 33 years without any government funding. Their commitment to providing free education and opportunities for underprivileged children is truly inspiring. This theatre outing was a testament to that commitment.

Imagine the excitement of a five-year-old seeing their favorite actor, Akshay Kumar, on a screen larger than they could ever have imagined. Khushi, from the Buddheshwar free education center, couldn’t contain her joy, clapping and cheering throughout the movie. For these children, who had never before stepped inside a movie theatre, the experience was nothing short of magical.

The Joy of Dreams Realized

The beaming faces of the children from Saadatganj and other Sewa Sankalp centers spoke volumes. The trip to the Novelty Theatre was more than just a movie outing; it was a chance to escape their daily realities and immerse themselves in a world of stories and entertainment. It was a chance to simply be children.

“Coming to the theatre was like a dream for them,” shared a Sewa Sankalp volunteer. “This dream has been made true by Sewa Sankalp Sanstha.”
