Observe ! Understand ! Build ! - Our 2013 5-day Residential Program for 8-14 year kids..

In continuation to our successful and satisfying 5-day fun'n'learn residential outdoor program for children in the 8-14 years age group in 2012 (See more details at http://www.valurevolution.blogspot.in/2012/05/observe-understand-build.html), we embarked on our 2013 program with double the zeal and enthusiasm...

We did continue to have our exciting 2012 activities of City Farming Technique, YES Cube, Sky Gazing, Shadow Play, Make-Pack-Sell, Painting, Effective Communication, Making and Eating two food items (including home made ice-cream), movies, morning exercises, visit to matheran (including horse riding, echo point, garden, shopping, trekking and) and more...

From our own learning from the 2012 program, we also added a few more exciting activities such as solving the rubik cube, book binding, getting children to learn writing the tables from 11-99 fast (within 30 seconds!), aspects of EPL for Effective communication, and sessions related to attitude vis-à-vis dignity of labour, anger management, respect, positive attitude, failure handling, determination. We also included a visit to a dairy, a brick factory and a hill top with a 360 degree view of the surrounding countryside during sunset and providing a scenic location for children to do some live outdoor painting as well!

We were delighted to have a few participants from our last years program attend. What was even more satisfying is that we had participation from a wider geography (although not from as far away as Latur like a few years ago when it all started!) children coming in from places including Ghatkopar, Chembur, Vasai, Mulund, Kalyan, Dombivli, Ulhasnagar, Badlapur and Pune!
