SUMMER CAMP FOR THE UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN OF RESETTLEMENT COLONIES OF DELHI/NCR:
The summer vacation has drawn to a close and kids across the city are gearing up for the next academic year, armed with the fresh skills they acquired at the camps they attended during the holidays. PHDFWF that works towards the welfare of underprivileged children, organised 30 days summer camp.
Over a month, around 10 volunteers engaged with more than 50 children of ages 6 to 16 in activities like arts and craft, indoor games, yoga & exercise, stop motion animation workshop, health check-up, music and dance.
PHDFWF organised an awareness camp on healthy practices and good nutrition for the parents and children in the economically backward communities, as a follow-up to the medical check-up camp held earlier. One of PHDFWF earliest volunteers, noted that the summer camp was a good start towards establishing a good rapport with the people of those communities. “The kids were quite keen and were willing to try anything that was taught to them and the camp started off well. All of us were busy in one activity or the other. There were a few jitters and challenges, but we were able to carry out everything as we had planned,” said X, another active volunteer.
