“ENHANCING” LIVES
Education is the key aspect that
helps to build a child’s future. However education confined to the realms of textbooks
and notebooks does not make the child ready to face the challenges of the
world. Overall development of a child is of utmost importance for survival in
the world of cut-throat competition. Thus providing basic elementary education
to poor and underprivileged children is not enough to ensure a good future for
them.
PROJECT ENHANCE uses sports and
creative arts to brighten the world of children and contribute towards their
overall development. Reaching out to the girl child is of utmost importance to universalize
elementary
The project is currently carried
out at Pune Municipality Schools
- Dr. Ambedkar Memorial School with 56 girls from 6th and 9th grade.
Both schools are in Pune Cantonment
Board, Pune
Children take part in 30 minutes
of martial arts and creative arts twice a week. This helps reduce stress,
increase stamina, build confidence, developing a spirit of team work and makes
education more interesting. In addition to this, professionals give the
children talks on topics including body language, careers, family dynamics, communication
skills and more. The result of this project is children who are disciplined,
self-confident and perhaps most importantly, happy.
Women are given a secondary
status in our society. Education of such a kind would help them let go off the inhabitations
that hamper the development and growth of the girl child. After all they have
to grow up and become women of substance, and this initiative of the COLORSS
FOUNDATION helps them achieve this feat.
This novel idea that goes beyond
bookish knowledge and helps improve and empower the girl child. All it needs is
your contribution and time to touch new heights and change more lives.
LET US ALL COME TOGETHER AND MAKE
LIVES FOR THESE CHILDREN A BETTER PLACE SO THAT ONE DAY THEY CAN MAKE THE
NATION PROUD.
