No. of children – 130 in age group 14 to 16 yrs
Venue - Chinmaya Mission Puducherry, Krishna nagar
The theme of the camp is "My Transformation Transforms Nation". The
integrated personality development camp focussed on physical fitness,
emotional stability, intellectual sharpness and patriotism.
The 2 days was filled with group discussions, games, activities, q & a sessions, short video clippings - all intended for bringing out dormant talents, erasing low tendencies, building confidence, instilling patriotism.
For physical Transformation, children were taught Surya namaskar, benefits of thoppu-karanam (super brain yoga), OM chanting, Vriksha-aasan, tips for healthy food habits and cleanliness.
For emotional Transformation, children had a group discussion on what emotions are hindering their progress; Solution to overcome them were provided through classroom session as well as activity. For instance, the trust fall activity to get rid of fear, Truth experiment to overcome telling lies, Tolerance game to know how to increase our patience etc.
For spiritual Transformation, significance of Gayathri mantra was taught, children participated in Gayathri havan, all were taken to Guru Siddhananda temple, etc.
For patriotic Transformation, children were enlightened on the glory of India.
Apart from the sessions, we were thrilled to see the adaptable nature of the children which was very evident in dormitory room sharing, readiness to serve - whether it be cleaning the classrooms or serving food, being punctual for the classes.
Thus the 2 days - was a very fulfilling experience and we believe that the seeds sown in the young minds will blossom at the right time and will result in a transformed Nation.
