CHILDREN CARNIVAL 14TH TO 20TH NOVEMBER
Rakesh.J Reddy
Dr. Reddy’s Foundation in collaboration with Department of Juvenile Welfare and Correctional Services is organizing Child Right’s Week for the children of the various juvenile homes of the state. Around 400 children who are housed in the children homes run by the department under the aegis of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000 are brought into a camp mode setting at the Bharat Scouts and Guides Training center, Jeedimetla, Hyderabad. The camp from 14th-20th November would feature activities which would nurture initiative, discipline, expression and communication in the participating kids.
THE PROJECT
Dr Reddy's Foundation has associated actively with the Juvenile Welfare
Department not just in bringing education, schooling and discipline to children
of the children homes in Hyderabad, but also recreation, fun and games on more
than one occasion. DRF has involved several
corporate volunteers in participating in these events breaking the monotony and
bringing a smile to everyone involved - not just the children!! Until now all activities have been inside the
campuses. For the first time, the children would be brought into camp setting,
outside the premises of the children homes.
Child Rights Week at the camp-site is conceived with a twin purposes - create
awareness to the children attending the camp on their rights and to develop a
sense of discipline in them through various activities. About 400 boys and
girls in the age group of 12 -18 years will attend this camp. The children will
be enrolled into the Bharat Scouts and Guides, Andhra Pradesh. The scouts
training would be given through this residential camp for all the children. This
event would serve as an occasion to train them for the coming Jamboree at
Hyderabad, the national festival for Scouts and Guides of the country.
A DAY IN THE CAMP:
The camp activities calendar has been tentatively planned as below.
Each day will be divided into 4 major sessions: Sunrise, Harvest, Golden and Sunset sessions.
The Sunrise Session and the Harvest session are dedicated
completely to the scouts and guides training. Two teacher volunteers from each
home would be brought in to be trained as the future scout masters to continue
the scouting activities at their respective homes after the conclusion of the
camp.
The purpose of training the children in scouting is very much in sync with the purpose of the scouting movement itself, i.e., to contribute to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of local, national and international communities
Awareness activities on Peace and Harmony, AIDS/HIV, Anti-Tobacco, Anti –Drug along with adventure activities, physical exercises, knots, signaling, Morse code , pitching the tent, first aid, map reading, star gazing, disaster preparedness are organized as a part of the scouts and guides training.
The training would be conducted by the scout masters and the trainers deputed by the Bharat Scouts and Guides, Andhra Pradesh.
The Golden session, which starts
post- lunch, at 3PM is the recreation and arts block that will give a basic
training and take-away material kits in various performing arts. The children
would be given the choice in choosing from the assorted activities before the
commencement of the camp. The activities
planned in this session are,
1) Theatre Workshop
Theatre had existed since the dawn of man, as a result of the human tendency for storytelling. Since its inception, theatre has come to take on many forms, utilizing speech, gesture, music, dance, and spectacle, combining the other performing arts into a single artistic form. Theatre can be influential in all aspects of life. Participating in theatre classes can develop physical and vocal skills apart from stimulating a person’s creativity and thought process ultimately developing a more tolerant attitude.
2) Painting and sketching Workshop
Painting is a mode of expression which may serve to manifest the expressive and conceptual intention of the practitioner. Art can help develop a child’s creativity, imagination, cognitive skills, problem-solving abilities, dexterity.
3) Dance Workshop
Dance generally refers to the rhythmic movement of the body, used as a form of expression and social interaction. This non verbal communication is by its nature the expression of emotions, feelings and opinions through the movement and manipulation of the body. Dance is therefore a vital form of expression; a medium which can be used to convey a message effectively and powerfully. Both folk and semi classical dance workshops would be conducted in the camp.
4) Origami Workshop
A form of paper craft, these classes would help children learn to mould the paper into various ubiquitous articles like bags, lamp shades, flowers etc.
5) Kolatam
6) Sabarmati Sangeet
This musical form inspired by the philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi educate children the significance of peace and harmony
7) Photography workshop
Talks are in progress with the Information and Public Relations Department, Andhra Pradesh, to depute trainers to teach children certain nuances and skills in photography and documentation.
8) Pottery workshop
To be able to introduce children to the various moulds that can brought out using clay.
9) Light music workshop
A group of
trainers for each workshop would enroll the children into their respective activities
and conduct the classes for 2 hours each day. Kolatam and Sabramati Sangeet
would be common for all the children for half-an-hour each every day.
The Sunset session features a
ceremonial camp fire and an occasional film show. Department of Tourism, Andhra
Pradesh has come forward to organize evening music concerts and wall movies. An
outing for all the children is also being planned by the tourism department.
FINALE: A grand finale exhibiting all the skills and trainings of the children would be organized on the evening of the last day of the camp, i.e., on the 20th November, as a sign of winding up the carnival that was.
Souvenir: A souvenir would be brought out in December, 2010 documenting all the events of the camp.
We take pleasure in inviting you to participate in organizing this program by supporting the conduct of any of the above mentioned events.
