NATIONAL EDUCARE CARNIVAL 2009



“ PEACE NOT PIECES “ 


a choral speaking prose written by Bro Bala Chandran of SSBC NED Penang 




The above prose was rendered by about 25 EHV students from various Sai Baba Centres of Penang during a Choral Speaking competition organized by the Sathya Sai Baba Central Council of Malaysia (Educare Wing) on the 7th of June 2009 at the International Language Teachers’ Institute, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

As one may know, “Choral Speaking “ is the interpretation of poetry or prose by a group comprising anything from half a dozen to a hundred speakers. It involves a full and varied use of the individual voices that make up the group. There may be divisions of the whole group into light and dark voices, broken and unbroken, male and female, treble and so on. Individual voices may be used as solo.

The above competition was held to instil in the students the importance of human values in daily life and also to encourage teamwork and discipline.

Our students were from varied backgrounds and linguistic ability and it was a real challenge for gurus - Sis Malar, Dr.Uma, Bro.Ravi and Bro.Bala Chandran to guide the students in various aspects of choral speaking.
