Home Visit
Why visit children at their homes? A question raised by many. Even the school teachers have asked what is the need to meet children at their home, when they come to school & even their parents turn up for the parents meeting. But Dr. Jitendra Kher President of Bhagyashree Foundation is of the strong opinion that we should know or rather we should visit our student’s homes, to understand their background, their surrounding, and the atmosphere from where they come.
Teachers play a vital role in bringing out the best in children, making them better citizens, to develop their personalities, but the base is the home. As home is the first school that a child learns the most from. His overall development be it physical, mental, or social, all starts from his home & his surroundings.
From a recent survey done by many renowned psychiatrists, it has come to the light that a child’s mental development is completed by the age of five. It means that a child acquires & develops 60-70% of his personality from the way he has been bought up for the initial five years of his childhood. And as a matter of fact, the formal school education starts after 5th year, which signifies that children come to school with a certain personality & mental frame of mind imbibed on them since childhood. As teachers or guides or counselors we can give directions to the children, but if we want to develop their personality or bring some positive change in them, it is very important to know their home & the surrounding they come from.
At, Bhagyashree Foundation, we don’t believe only in bookish knowledge. Our aim is to develop our students to be tomorrow’s responsible citizens. Our several years of experience speaks that, to enlighten our students with knowledge and to develop their overall personality it is important to know their home, their background & their environment.
Camp Programmes & Activities
It is our experience for years that, for the overall development of a child it is very important to engage them in extracurricular activities along with formal education. These various programs & activities boost the confidence of the children. It allows them to open up & understand their hidden talents. They ask questions, they are inquisitive & curious to learn. They want answers to questions like I want to become a Doctor, then why should I study Civics & Geography? If I want to become a Hindi Professor then how will Maths & Science help me in this? I want to work in the art field, I love drawing but I hate studies, then what is the connection between drawing & studies…?The questions are never ending but the answers are never known, as the parents & teachers always neglect their questions. Many times they are termed as naughty & disobedient children.
We at Bhagyashree Foundation, work for the betterment & development of these children who come from socially & economically backward classes. As most of their parents don’t even have the time to speak or discuss anything with them, many are addicted to alcohol. They don’t understand the importance of education & so are not keen on their children’s education.
Under all these circumstances these children grow. Hence, they lack the basic requirement for education & development i.e. understanding & encouragement. The result of this is even the calibered children cannot prosper & may fall in bad company.
Our objective to run camps & organize various activities & programs is to make these children active. To involve them & encourage them to participate in different activities, to understand their mind & their unanswered questions, to make them speak out their thoughts. To make them understand the importance of discipline, hard work & dedication through games, stories, skits, or any other entertainment medium. To make them realize their strength, to help them understand & overcome their drawback. Many renowned personalities are invited to address, guide& counsel children. At times, these prominent people have also admitted to having learned a lot from these kids.
Bhagyashree Foundation aims to create individuals with unique identities, self-confidence, self-reliance & above all better human beings from these children.
