Performance for children with Autism at the Association of the Welfare of Intellectual Handicapped (AWIH), Kathmandu, Nepal | May 22, 2025

About the Story

The Rainbow Fish meets the white fish from the Himalayas in a pond full of colors. They together discover a bag full of treasure which consists of various sensory props. Each object that comes out of the bag, allows an experience for the children that activates their various senses. With simple rhythmic songs and interactive methods, the white fish finds new colors while she shares its white with rainbow fish and builds their friendship.

About the Show at AWIH

This 30min storytelling performance got a chance to meet the special children at Association of the Welfare of Intellectual Handicapped (AWIH) institute in Kathmandu, Nepal. The sensorial experience of the storytelling not only enhanced the engagement of the participants but provided them new learning experience. The caregivers too enjoyed the performance which gave them a refreshing experience. As for the Joy House team, we always get more joy than we give. To see that our hard work and creative input impacts these children in many layers, it fills our heart with more Joy.
