CREDITS

The Holistic Learning Camp for Committed Underprivileged Children (19th Aug to 25th August, 2006) was not supported by any professional donor agency and was run primarily on the basis of community’s voluntary support.

The HEC was kind enough to provide an F-type vacant quarter for the camp, a couple of cooks, and the HEC Schools provided three teachers in three shifts who kept a watch on children and maintained discipline and order at the camp. Food grains and vegetables for running the camp came partly from children themselves and partly from voluntary donations in kind by certain individuals. The trainers were highly qualified people who volunteered to teach and train the children. Bharat Shodh and the HEC Education Department are grateful to all such people for their generosity and commitment.
