Panorama of holistic learning activities for children at Mithanagar Municipal School, Mumbai
Since the reopening of the Mithanagar Municipal School at Goregaon in June 2024, Team Satsang Seva Mission (SSM) at Mumbai has conducted a series of well-planned activities, promoting the overall growth and holistic development of 50 children from Grades 4 to 7.
Power of storytelling
The first value education session on 25 June witnessed the narration of compelling stories by college-going volunteers who highlighted the themes of inner beauty, kindness, compassion, and respect for wise elders.
Back-to-school essentials
In July, the children received notebooks, stationery, and sketching books as they continued to build on their academic and co-curricular activities, enabling their learning and growth in a phased manner.
True inspirations
During the subsequent sessions on 28 August and 28 September, the SSM volunteers facilitated insightful discussions on the theme of 'Dreams Come True' through biographical accounts of Neil Armstrong, the American astronaut, and Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the former President of India. Sharing their own dreams and aspirations, the children learned to express their thoughts with clarity and insight as they drew inspiration from the journey of these great personalities.
Yoga Abhyasa
Commencing with an invocation, on 21 September, yoga facilitators trained at the Bharat Yogavidya Kendra (BYK) of The Satsang Foundation, took 40 children through a routine of Sukshma Vyayama, Surya Namaskar, Shavasana, Pranayama, and a quiet meditation. A visible shift in the young minds from distraction to calm and one-pointed attention has revealed the impact of the yoga sessions on the holistic growth of the children.
Sketching dreams
On 28 September, the children learned to sketch dreamy rain scenarios along the lines of the 'Dreams Come True' theme as they sketched and colored umbrellas and rainbows, children and trees, bringing their imaginative faculties to life and colour.
