Education and Discussions: Planning for the Children’s Future
Beyond the fun and games, volunteers also engaged in thoughtful discussions with the orphanage’s head, Suman Kamlesh, and the teachers. The focus was on improving the quality of education and overall well-being of the children. The staff highlighted some challenges the orphanage faced, such as a lack of boundary walls, benches, and chairs, which made everyday life difficult for the children.
After hearing these concerns, the volunteers pledged to seek additional resources to help address the orphanage’s infrastructure needs, thereby creating a safer and more comfortable environment for the children. They also exchanged ideas with the teachers on how to improve academic performance and introduce a more holistic education, further discussing ways they could support the children’s development in the future.

Seeing the smiles on the children’s faces was incredibly rewarding. These children need more help, and as members of society, it is our responsibility to ensure they have better learning and living conditions.”
Yashraaj further emphasized that such activities go beyond material support. By interacting with the children, the volunteers inspired them to realize their potential and helped instill positive values and attitudes. Through education and emotional support, the children will be better equipped to face future challenges with confidence.
