Mahadji Shinde High School one of the schools located in Pune Cantonment Board at Wanorie, Pune is one of our new project site. We would be having two projects in Pune city and they are going to be the replica of the one that we already have. i.e Project Enhance and 'Colors of Life'
The Colors of Life project combines the use of technology and art to encourage children to stay in school while learning useful vocational skills and improving their communication and interpersonal skills through the creation of Colors of Life, the bimonthly e-magazine. A trained psychologist assesses each participant on his physical and mental abilities at the beginning of the program.
Currently, the children take part in a one-hour session twice a week. At the beginning of the program, the teaching staff takes on a facilitating role to lead the teens to write or draw based on a given topic. The topics are chosen by a psychologist on purpose to encourage the participants to open their mind by exploring their inner-self and to get them to be in a more relaxing and comfortable mode. Their artwork will be featured in the Colors of Life E-zine, which will be a motivation for the participants as well as giving them a sense of pride and increase their self-confidence.
30 students team-up for 'Colors of Life' project coming from 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grade. These students come from poor families staying in nearby slums. A lot of problems were discussed by the school authorities. A detailed assessments needs to be done to identify the psychological needs. We are looking out for psychologist as volunteers who can help us with needs assessments. Please share this with your known contacts who can help us.
Thanking you,
Anand
