Ambassador for children has sponsored a summer camp at Samasati Nature Retreat for 20 children of the local school...

it has been a success and this is what the teacher has wrote about her experience:  
 “ The children were wonderful to work with.  Everyday we would have an hour English lesson.  Each group collected words and phrases in their notebooks, and drew pictures to enhance understanding and comprehension.  We would meditate and do a small yoga lesson twice a day.  Our hikes were beautiful, and the children were inspired to create beautiful paintings and drawings.  The final mandala drawing and coloring was a very unique experience. All the kids (a total of 20 of them) have been enriched by the silence, the focus, the simple activities, the genuine fun and by having a deeper understanding of what nature and the surroundings can provide in terms of a safe environment to explore and to know. At last we gave them the t-shirts and they were really surprised ! I think they have never got so much attention and new games and new imput!!
 Their eyes were always quite big and they were VERY attentive to what the next moment was reserving.
 They have memories for a life time. Thank you for the opportunity”
 
  THANK YOU to the Ambassador for children to make it happen!
