Recently I have conducted Bala Chetna Shivir program for kids in 7th and 8th STD at Sengunthar Middle School in Sholinghur. Just thought of sharing the experience here.
Actually, went to Sholinghur to conduct the happiness program. Since, there was not much response, thought of doing some other program.
Hence, approached Sengunthar Middle School HM to conduct the Bala Chetna Shivir program. She immediately agreed to it. What a grace!!!
Since the hall could accommodate only about 150 children, both 7th and 8th STD children have joined the program for about 1 hr every day for 5 days.
On day 1 we had a nice introductory session about Art of Living, Gurudev. Then games, yoga, pranayama and satsang. The children enjoyed it throughly.
Rest of the 4 days, the program went of fine with high level of participation from the kids and support from the staff members.
On the last day, I had given a team work project to the kids to draw their favorite picture on a chart. They came up with some wonderful ideas. And it is displayed in their respective class rooms.
During the program, the staff members also participated and they were asking about other programs in Art of Living. I had explained about the happiness program and the enormous benefits it had had in peoples lives in Sholighur. Many of them agreed to do the program.
As part of the Shivir, I had distributed Lakshmi Taru seeds to the children and they meticulously planted them in their home.
It was a enriching program for the kids, staff and myself.
