Summer holidays have a charm of their own for children. Some plan to visit a distant relative or enjoy theirArt and Handi crafts prepared by children of Deepalaya Learning Centre, Gole Kuan, New Delhi holidays in the hills while some sit at home idle with their mothers’ shouting at them for getting their homework done. However, Deepalaya schools and learning centres brace themselves for summer camp for honing the creative skills of our students, who come to school not for attending classes but for doing something that appeals them to the core of their heart. Here is what students created during the last one month:
Deepalaya learning Centre Gole Kuan: Teachers were diligently tutoring kids on how to make products like bracelets, hand bags, greeting cards, pen stands out of empty ketchup bottles and jam containers, wall hangings, artificial jewellery etc. Products will be displayed during festival season for raising funds, a part of which will be given to the students who made it.

Similar activities were conducted at Deepalaya School Kalkaji Extension and Deepalaya School Gusbethi. The summer classes are an extension of what children learn throughout the year. “The bright faces of children, braving the sun when summer is at its peak, give us the momentum to solace their hunger for learning,” says Rupinder Sharma, one of the teachers at DLCGK. We believe in going that extra mile, putting that last effort, giving that one last try for our students and hobby classes are perfect example of this mission,” she adds.
