Held at the Pakalveedu, the camp focused on promoting mental well-being and holistic development among children during the vacation period.
The event brought together 64 children aged between 6 and 15, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere. Through a mix of fun-filled activities, interactive sessions, and group-based tasks, participants were encouraged to express themselves, build confidence, and strengthen social connections.
The programme was led by Director Ms. Reena Varghese along with a dedicated team of volunteers, including Ann Susan Varghese, Aleena TJ, and Shahana, who ensured an inclusive and supportive environment for all children. The activities were designed to nurture creativity, teamwork, and emotional resilience, making the experience both enjoyable and meaningful.

Children expressed their happiness and excitement about being part of the camp. “It’s been a long time since we all came together and played. Since it’s vacation, everyone is usually at home, so this felt really special,” shared 12 year old Hiba. 15 year old Andriya added, “I feel very happy to be part of this programme where learning and fun happen together. Only when the teacher explained later, I realized we had actually learned something, it was all so fun.”
The programme was well-received by parents and local residents, who appreciated the initiative for providing children with a platform to learn, interact, and celebrate childhood with joy and togetherness.
