READY ! SET !! GO !!!

The Learning in a Fun Environment (LIFE) project is starting on Oct 31st at the Govt Home, Royapuram.

Where: Govt Home, Royapuram

When: 10:30 am, Sunday, Oct 31st

Coupling the potential of play based learning, with the lack of real life examples for the Govt home children (primarily abandoned, parent-less/differently-abled), LIFE project in Royapuram aims to provide an easily approachable and accessible mentor whose role includes imparting education through play and interactive methods while simultaneously providing an emotional anchor and psychological support to the budding minds of these future citizens.

Currently, educational & fun toys worth Rs. 30,000/- has been obtained catering to various age groups.

All toys have been classified based on the age group & what is the learning that can be obtained from each toy.

So, what next?

1. Mentorship Day 1 starts on Oct 31st from 10:30 am to 12:00 noon

2. Children would be grouped based on age & mentors will be allocated to each group

3. Mentors will interact with the children, develop rapport with the children via:

· Playing the toys with the children (toys will be provided to every group based on age group)

4. Stimulate thinking, creativity, imagination, team work via group playing & hopefully make a contribution to emotional, social & intellectual development, however miniscule.

Definitely, believe this would be a challenging exercise in terms of getting the children to play these toys, getting them to learn &

But, that is why we are all in here, right !!!

Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Renita (9894488797) or Feroz(9500059774), or mail in to us at hugsindia@gmail.com, renitarajan@gmail,comorzeeferoz@yahoo.com.

Be there, have fun, put a smile on faces & make a difference !!!
