Children's Reading Camp 2025

Children’s Reading Camp 2025 was nothing short of magical—a day filled *with joy, discovery, and life-changing experiences* for every child who walked through our gates.

From the moment the sun rose, the energy was electric. Children dove into a variety of *interactive literacy activities* designed not just to teach, but to inspire. They explored the world of *computers for literacy* , gaining essential digital skills that are vital in today’s world. With *board games* , they laughed and learned, sharpening their minds while strengthening friendships.

Inside our book corners, children got lost in *pages of imagination* during *book reading* sessions, and battled it out in the *spelling bee* with confidence and courage. The *puzzle competition* lit up young minds with excitement, while *toys and games* kept hearts light and joyful. *The Lead Today books* sparked leadership conversations and dreams, while *literacy catch-up sessions* ensured no child was left behind.

But perhaps the most *heartwarming moment* of the day was when the camp extended beyond its borders. *Our children took part in an outreach* to a nearby slum community, bringing with them not just books, but *love and compassion* . They handed out clothes to *community mothers and children* , a gesture that reminded us all of the true power of empathy and giving.

To crown the day, children had a *chance to present* what they had learned, speaking with pride and clarity—proof that reading is not just about words, but empowerment. As the day came to a close, *every child received a free book* to take home—a treasure to continue their reading journey long after the camp ends.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible partners who made this life-changing experience possible:
