Background/Project:
Children Development is one of the major programs of VIN’s Integrated Community Development Approach. Goal of the Children development program is to protect the rights of all children by providing them with access to basic quality education, developing their life skills & providing access to health services through community health program. VIN has different projects in children development program such as Children’s Clubs (CC), Early Childhood Development (ECD) School Attendance Project (SAP) and Orphanage.
Now a days, schools are being more competitive for increasing the marks of the students. The teachers only focus on reading and writing so that the creativity of children is decreasing day by day. Due to compact work schedule of parents most of children do not have opportunity to be socialize and creative. So that, to provide opportunity to children (aged 6-12 years old) for socialization & creativity, such type of camps are very essential.
