Maria Bhavan, Bableshwar, organised a ten day summer camp from 17 to 27 April. Around 35 children responded and these days were days of fun, learning and great joy. Each day began with a moment of prayer, talking in English by learning new sentences and some general knowledge. They also organised various activities to help them learn to interact with each other; they spent time making paper bags, different flowers, decorative items and paper art which helped them gain confidence. The games which they played helped them enjoy and build a sporting spirit.
On 26th the feast of gratitude, they prepared ‘Bhel’ in groups for which they brought onions, tomatoes, chillies, coriander and the Sisters provided the main ingredient; they were absolutely delighted to prepare the same and enjoy it in groups.
The points received everyday made them enthusiastic. On the tenth day they had a little shop wherein, they picked their prizes according to the points gained.
On the last day they thanked the sisters for the hard work put in, for giving the best, including a snack every day and for allowing them to enjoy every moment.
These days were indeed fruitful as the entire community spent time with them and saw them run, jump, learn and have fun thus keeping them away from harm.
