We are happy and proud to share that we could do our bit to help Kedare family from disintegrating. Mr. Kedare has epilepsy. He was retrenched from work and efforts are going on to reinstate him. We offered him medical aid for Anti Epilepsy medicines & counselling as well as educational aid for their only daughter to continue with her education.

ChildRaise Summer Workshop - activity - Newspaper bag (for practice ) & coloured paper bag. Kids are happy when they are in each other's company as you can see our youngest member was very happy to string/ lace the beads through out the paper bag session.

On 5th June ChildRaise Trust celebrated World Environment Day. They were shown two videos explaining them what is environment, why as well as how to take care of it. After watching videos they shared their ideas about what they would do to help our environment. They made a collage using news papers and left over papers.

Origami is the art of paper folding. “Ori” meaning "folding" and kami meaning "paper" is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word "origami" is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. Origami promotes fine motor skills development, eye-hand co-ordination and creativity. Our children learnt basic origami skills in one of the session. They made a closed umbrella, a joker’s hat and a sailing boat. They chose the sailing boat to stick on a paper and give it a background.

Father's Day Celebration in ChildRaise Centre. The kids made a card for their Dad.
