PARKSHALA

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. 

W ish You All a Very Happy Makar Sankranti, Pongal, and Bihu.

O nce academics were stabilized, we started exploring options for all-round, holistic development . We have collaborated with different individuals and organizations across various fields to conduct workshops for the children. In 2018, we conducted a workshop almost every month.

T hey may not be as privileged as you and me but they are for sure more excited for the festivities. The kids at @parkshala are prepping up once again to brighten up homes this Diwali. We have an earnest request for you all. This time around, please don’t negotiate on the prices of the diyas with the street vendors. How about we light up their homes this Diwali by paying a penny more. It’s the least we could do.

According to Supreme Court’s Report on POCSO cases, in the first half of the year, i.e between January 1, 2019 and June 30, 2019, over 24,000 cases of child abuse were registered in India. Drill this number down and it would send a chill down your spine- one kid in every 5 minutes is sexually abused in India! . So while you and I are slogging through the day or browsing through the dressed up wi ndow displays at malls or nibbling on popcorn during a movie or just resting ‘em eyes, there are hundreds of children facing  #sexualabuse . It’s an alarming situation and it’s absolutely important now to educate the kids and their parents about respect and consent, about  #goodtouchbadtouch  and a little extra about  #selfdefence .
