Every year we organise a free of cost camp for the less privileged children during their summer break. These camps provide an opportunity for children to learn and grow in a positive and nurturing environment. The camps have witnessed remarkable growth year-on-year. From about 100 kids who participated in the 1st camp, the number doubled to 200 the following year, while the last one witnessed about 750 kids joining the same and making it a huge success.
The primary focus of these summer camps is to provide children with opportunities for educational and cultural development. Through a variety of sessions and activities, children can expand their knowledge and acquire valuable life skills. By offering the summer camps free of cost, the organisation ensures that children from all economic backgrounds have an equal chance to participate. This inclusivity is essential for promoting social equity and ensuring that every child has access to enriching experiences.
The involvement of young volunteers in conducting educational sessions on topics like hygiene, climate change, and etiquette demonstrates the community's commitment to the well-being of these children. It also fosters a sense of responsibility and civic engagement among the volunteers. The well-rounded curriculum that includes creative and performing arts activities is crucial for the holistic development of children. These activities enhance creativity, boost self-esteem, and encourage self-expression.
"Shiksha Daan," which translates to "Education Donation" in English, is a meaningful initiative undertaken by the society. The project was launched in response to the positive reception of the summer camp organised for less privileged children in Mahila Ashram in June 2019. Recognizing the importance of continuing to provide educational opportunities, the Principal requested the youth wing to establish ongoing educational classes, which started as weekly classes.
The primary objective of "Shiksha Daan" is to provide education and knowledge to young minds, focusing on various general knowledge topics to enhance their overall quality of life. In addition to general knowledge sessions, the initiative places emphasis on physical training, art, and craft. Collaboration with students from institutions like Uttaranchal University (Globe club, Uttaranchal Institute of Management), and Tulas Institute enriches the learning experience.
The program extends its reach to various self-funded and government schools in different parts of the Dehradun district, ensuring that educational opportunities are accessible to a wide range of students. "Shiksha Daan" embodies the spirit of giving through education, empowering young minds with knowledge and skills that can positively impact their lives and futures.
Self-defence training for students is crucial in empowering them with the skills and confidence needed to protect themselves in challenging situations. Conducted by an international gold medalist, these training sessions offer expert instruction and techniques that are both effective and practical. The importance of such training extends beyond physical safety; it also builds resilience, self-discipline, and situational awareness.
Regular camps ensure that students have continuous opportunities to practise and refine their skills. This ongoing training helps reinforce their abilities and boost their confidence, making self-defence an integral part of their personal development. By participating in these camps, students not only learn to safeguard themselves but also gain valuable life skills that enhance their overall well-being.
