Dear Donors,
Greetings from IDEA Foundation!
We have completed 15 years of our service to the poor today with the support of all of you. IDEA team – our Board, staff , children ,youth and women we serve celebrated our Foundation Day today!
On this occasion, looking back our educational support has shaped and enriched the lives of many unfortunate children.
IDEA Foundation is supporting education of underprivileged children through its study centres located in different communities and also by giving educational sponsorship to many deserving children, with the help of our generous donors. In our study centers we give individual attention to children in studies and create opportunities for them to develop the budding talents in them .
Today many schools follow a holistic approach to education as it is no longer just about learning tangible and measurable skills. We also follow this approach in our educational initiatives as it instils curiosity and allows children to learn naturally and creatively. The biggest benefit of a holistic approach isn’t just about mental development, but it encompasses psychological, social and emotional growth.
To nurture the child as a whole, the holistic approach encourages learning through engagement of the environment. Here we give children exposure to different learning opportunities. We engage them in sports and games, art and craft classes and exposure visits to places of importance. We encourage them to build warm relationship with their peer groups for their emotional and social development. It is evident that children develop better communication and social skills by following these methods.
We take students from our study centres and sponsored children for exposure visits to places in and around Pune. Children get to visit a place to which they have never been before. This can be particularly advantageous to students who are less fortunate and don't have the opportunity to travel.
Some children were taken to Railway Museum and Seven Wonders Garden. These visits can give students insight into different careers that are available for those who are interested in that particular topic. During such educational trips students get opportunity to practice their social skills and it also allow them to bond with other participants.
Thank you dear donors!
As a proud and grateful team member of IDEA Foundation, I congratulate this wonderful organization on its 15th anniversary. Please continue to support us with your well wishes and contributions.
