PROBLEM:
Children in slum areas face different problems, apart from their pitiful living conditions, they also face various social, psychological and emotional problems like social exclusion, violence, negligence both from family as well as from society which led them into various unscrupulous activities, due to this their behaviour turns to be violent.
ACTION
On 19th october 2022, volunteers from ICFDR, in association with MICROSOFT, met the kids of a slum area of bangalore. Volunteers from both the organisations arranged some delicious eatables and goodies for those children. Our volunteers spent some quality time with them which includes games with interactive learning, music, dance etc. The volunteers also interacted with those children in a fun loving way.
IMPACT
We had a great time with the children. The children joined in all the activities, like games, cultural events, and interactive learning. Our volunteers talked to the children, listened to their concerns about their health, education, and fun activities. Many children got well connected with the volunteers, thus getting long term guidance and support. We could definitely observe the change in the attitude and confidence of the children. This event was a strong morale booster to the students, thus we could address the emotional problems that the students face.
