Chalaang Explores Cultures Of India
A 10-day summer camp was held for 130 tribal children of the Vaidu communities at Jogeshwari and Marol. Our education partner Vipla Foundation organised a camp which ensured that some life lessons would stay with the kids. RCB’s Chalaang Summer Camp week was held from April 21st to May 3rd, 2022.
Vipla and RCB teams present onground oversaw how the kids were taught about India’s different states, the uniqueness of the language, places, dishes, and the traditional attire of its people was shown, all with a focus on developmental domains within the state.
About 30 parents participated too. The children prepared songs, dances, and speeches for the last day. Rotarians
were pleased to note that most of the children confidently shared their learning in front of the audience. The parents matched their enthusiasm with pride and tears.
The camp allowed for a rapport to be built up between all stakeholders in the work that RCB is doing with the Vaidu community. These are: the parents, children, project partners and RCB.
Vipla Foundation took 60 Vaidu kids to the premiere of the new movie Jayesh Babu Jordar. Vipla arranged for a bus to transport them and snacks, too. It was their first such outing. And look who they met!
