#CircleOfTrust  As grown-ups, we want a space of empathy, trust and non-judgment where we can pour our innermost selves and deepest truths. A safe space. . We did a little activity. We asked the children to draw a Circle Of Trust and keep themselves inside this safe space. Then, they were asked to surround themselves with people that they have utmost faith in, people they can share everything with, people who would help them no matter what! . The aim is to give them assurance that they're taken care of and remind them of the people they can talk to whenever they need. . If we cherish this space with our loved ones, imagine how important it is for children! Circle of trust

In association with @safe_campus we showed our younglings an animated video on Child Sexual Abuse. . It's the story of an innocent young girl, Komal, who becomes pally with "Uncle" who used to visit the family often. . Here's is the video:

Add caption Cases of child sexual abuse increased so much that the government had to legit pass POCSO act to address this issue. Pedophiles are everywhere but not every child is abused. What is it that makes a child susceptible to abuse? Lack of knowledge: the topic being taboo, parents don't educate the children and make them aware that they could be in this situation. Lack of a support system and emotional safety, people they can confide in Lack of confidence in self : Leads the child to not speak up Lack of awareness of surroundings and those around them Family's blind trust in relatives and friends Inability of the child to defend himself in a situation that can lead to abuse

Life's a cake. What would it take for you to share a tiny slice of your chocolate truffle cake with those who have only tasted dry tea cakes?  #sharethelove

Fun fact: Mausham, who took the workshop with our kids, and gave them complete freedom to choose any image they wanted to carve on the wood. It was really surprising to see that each and everyone ended up drawing their own version of HOME a place of warmth, safety, and love! Mausham, Thank you for having this beautiful workshop with our kids of Parkshala and introducing them to this unique form of art. It was an enriching experience for us to be associated as the cultural sponsor for IPMH.

Woodcut, the oldest technique used in fine art printmaking, is a form of relief printing. Woodcut prints are produced by pressing the selected medium (usually paper) onto the inked image. To create a woodcut print, first the artist drew the design on paper, and then transferred it to a thinner, more transparent paper. Ink was applied to the surface of the woodblock. A new sheet of paper was applied to the block, then rubbed with a round pad to transfer the image. The technique of printing makes this art, unique and at the same time it's too simple, as our kids also enjoyed the art. Woodcut Printmaking Workshop 

India Printmaker House is a contemporary online gallery dedicated to nurturing artist and their craft in all forms of printmaking. Mausham Raj, the winner of Manorama Printmaker Award artist took a fun woodcut printmaking workshop with the kids of 'Parkshala', as a part of his winning.

“Women have the power to make a real difference in their communities through science, big ideas, and important discussions. We all have a role to play in advancing women in science, engineering, technology, and math... these disciplines need diversity and they need women. Together, we can change the world one idea at a time." -Dr. Lesley Rigg International Women and Girls in Science Day February 11, 2020

#repost While we understand the importance of providing nourishing, healthy meal to the children; there are times when they just want to let go and eat with abandon! For such days, we help interested sponsors arrange for mouth-watering chhole-kulche, mango milkshake, samosa-jalebi, kachori, ice-cream and a lot more from reputed outlets. We disallow all sorts of chips and aerated drinks. Distribute food

Society benefits when young children get out, get their hands in the earth, and plant trees. Planting trees and shrubs is a great way for kids to connect to the environment and their community. At Parkshala we encourage our children to do it. This strengthens a child’s relationship with nature, place and the environment.

Kids are the flag bearers of pure love- they give unconditional love, they seek pure love and this reflects in their patriotism too. . CAA or no CAA, teach your kids compassion so they can embrace diversity with empathy. Help them extract a zillion reasons from the daily routine which can make them dance and jump with joy.
