CARING AND LEARNING

Yashodhara has begun a new activity for its children: Sundays will be a time for recreation and learning by spending two hours in the morning shaping and caring for a garden and a vegetable patch.

The children were delighted when they heard about the new activity. Previously, they used to clean around the house every Sunday, but now they can participate in the creation and care of their Home. They like plants, especially fruit trees. There are some mango trees around the house and the children look forward to their blooming in order to have mangoes to eat.

Asha-Kiran integrates environmental education in the children’s overall education to awaken in them a deep respect and love for their environment that will motivate them to care for it and share it with others.
