Fun in the Sun

Hi Friends, Quick recap ...

Previous Meetup: 13 members attended <1 from here>. We discussed:

-- Ideation on contours of the proposed Summer Camp and key focus on Fun while learning (teamwork, leadership, all forms of the Arts, value of money, sports coaching, respect for women & elders, community service, "can do" attitude, meeting achievers, creativity, movie making, etc);

-- discussed several fun, silly activities for kids where we know that we volunteers too ll get an opportunity to revisit our own childhood;

-- shared ideas on ensuring kids' overall safety, volunteer awareness, seeking permission from relevant authorities; and

-- discussed several disjointed (for that meeting!) but truly valuable inputs from all-around!

PS: Creation of b&b facilities on-campus for education enthusiasts and for people on sabbatical who wish to experiment and teach is part of core agenda of our farm-community & this meetup group too. A better interaction & bond with kids is part of the long-drawn strategy and process to enrich their life experiences & to become better adults!
