This activity makes the children believe that one day they can be of what they like to be. And it makes lots of fun. All the children have participated this event very actively. The children also learnt how this service is done and the ethics to be followed while delivering the service. How to address the customers or recipients and how polite they have to behave. Also the behaviors, manners and customs are explained while the action was going on.

Kids Are Learning Difference in Size, Height and Length

Kids Going to the Temple

(L) As it rained heavily in the morning, some children are absent. It was not a good day for outside games as the ground is wet. So the teachers decided to take them to a nearby temple to teach them manners and customs to be praticed at the holy places. (R) The first action was to pay homage to religion and the children helped the teachers light oil lamps. This is to pray for peace in the country, in which most children have suffered.
 

Then the children were taken to the main praying hall and practiced praying for peace and harmony among all the nations. Here the children were made aware about the ongoing conflict in the country and how the people and children suffer in such conditions.

Kids Are Playing with Clay, Free Hand Training

(L) It is a very interesting day for the children as they got the opportunity to make their dream toy. (R) Every child was provided with a sufficient amount of clay and was asked to make their favorite creations. The teachers were behind them to advise how to control the clay to make several designs. Rolling, squeezing, clapping and using different tools to get the shape was instructed.

Here the children are either working individually or in small groups. The full freedom is given to children for any sort of creations they prefer.
