A seven-day-long summer vacation named ‘life-Connect’ was organised here in collaboration with Bengaluru-based Cybertech Robotics Solution and Ghanshyam Misra Tribal Welfare Trust.
The objective of organising the programme is to nurture the future generation by providing education for life and meet the socio-economic and contemporary challenges with ease.
Attending the programme, Managing Trustee of Sampurna Foundation Swaha Mohanty said, “Previously summer camps were organised by our foundation, which involved students of one particular sector. However, this time, we decided to organise a camp for the underprivileged students as well. This was to give them an opportunity to experience an atmosphere where they could not only interact with children from different schools, but also explore their own talents and share their best practices giving every child a chance to learn something new from each other.
The camp, which was inaugurated on May 2 by Eminent linguist and the Chairman of Sampurna Foundation, Padmashri Devi Prasanna Pattnayak, brought in a number of children from the SOS village, Bhubaneswar, KGBV Hostel, Kendrapada, Government High School, Gorumahisani, Mayurbanj as well as children from DAV Public Schools, Sai International School, loyola School, Delhi Public School, St. Joseph’s High Schools from the city. The theme for the first three days of the camp was “Art Excel” which included activities held by specialists from Art of living. The next theme was “The Science Explorer” commenced from May 6.
Eminent painter Padmabhushan Jatin Das and Information Commissioner Jagadananda shared time with the children. The children were also taken for a city tour. The last day included a workshop organised for both children and parents by Ratnesh Mathur from Amable.
