Impact : The children enjoyed heartily and totally. The impact begins there. There was a lot of simulated learning activities - kinesthetic to cognitive... The students could perform without fear, inhibition, or mental blocks about their sociocultural background. Total freedom, security and comfort was offered by the space, and the trainers and this peer to peer learning-teaching methodology. During the last 5 days of the summer camp, some of the of the parents brought their younger children and requested to admit their wards. The final three day's participation ran into 29-33. Since it was the Ramzan time, some of the participants could come on and off. Nonetheless the participation and immersion made us all - the organizers very proud.
