Project Report | Jul 30, 2019
Smiles, Laughter, and More for Children in India.

By Melanie Steele | Karuna-Shechen USA

Together, we are helping children in India learn, smile, and grow!

When we saw preschool children in underserved Indian villages sitting in sparse rooms with little or no stimuli and no interaction, we decided to act — and we invited you to join us.

Together, we are ensuring that children in critical developmental stages receive engaging cognitive education.

Our trained teachers organize preschool rooms into four spaces:

– Quiet area: a quiet space for rest and reading
– Construction space: games, blocks etc.
– Imaginative play: dolls, kitchen etc.
– Space representation: cars, figurines, small animals etc.

Drawing and coloring activities are also organized, as are outdoor games and activities such as hoops and balls.

By playing and interacting creatively, children develop socialization and problem-solving skills that can improve the quality of their lives for years – and decades – to come.

So far, we have received over 150 donations from people around the world who want to help improve quality of education for some of the youngest and most vulnerable children in India. Thank you!

We will continue to update you on what we are accomplishing together, and we thank you for bringing the gift of play to young children in remote communities of Jharkhand!
