The Project ‘Camp Diaries' was initiated to nurture the underprivileged kids with some extracurricular skills such as music, dance, art & others through some volunteers. Each child deserves to write their own story and follow their passion. The aim is that each kid leaves with a zeal to pursue them. Under our mentorship, kids organize camps in primary schools & volunteer to teach these skills and art form to their juniors.The skills also include public speaking, fine arts, photography, videography and others.The project has seen a huge success as it enabled students to not only live their passion but also honed their creative expression and interpersonal skills. The most significant part of this initiative was the small kids found some curiosity in some other activities apart from studies & it was also helping them to be happy in their daily turmoil of family & community issues. It also helped in establishing a bonding between the senior & junior classes & in between students of particular area of interest. Such was the reach of the project that Fellows from Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Pune also replicated the concept in their classrooms and observed impressive results in learning patterns and enthusiasm level in students. The best part of the project is, once briefed; students drive it themselves with rigour making it a point that their juniors get the essence of the concept and carry forward the legacy of it to future classrooms.
