Over the past year, all the changes connected to COVID-19 have posed new challenges to all of us. Many workcamps had to be cancelled. Volunteers who were excited to work in an intercultural group in a foreigncountry could not make it to their camps and many of us were forced to stay within their own houses for months. However, not only bad things came out of this. During lockdown we started to host our first virtual camps and learnt that online meetings are a great way of connecting with people all across the world and promoting our ideals and environmental awareness, even without meeting physically.

TRAVAIL

Children s Development is one of the major programs at VIN s Integrated Community Development Approach. The Goal of the Children s development program is to protect the rights of all children by providing them access to basic quality education, developing their life skills (creativity, leadership etc.) and providing access to health and hygiene services. VIN has different projects under children s development program such as Children s Clubs (CC), Early Childhood Development (ECD), School Attendance (Teacher Development, Parenting Education, School Infrastructure Development, and Child Sponsorship) and Child Care. Even in these days in Nepal, schools are focused mainly on examination and are not doing enough to develop life skills like creativity and leadership for children. Teachers only focus on reading and writing i rote learning. Creativity and individual differences in children are not explored. Due to the busy work schedule of parents, most of the children do not have an opportunity to socialize and be creative. That s the reason why, this types of camps are so essential to provide life skills development opportunities to children aged between 5-12 years old. We work only with disadvantaged communities as these families cannot afford to take their children to holidays during their Winter and Summer breaks. Children don t have a proper structure and environment at home, or a school to develop their innate talents. Children s camp (at winter and summer breaks) is one of the best places to explore their innate talents such as creativity and leadership. In this work camp, national and international volunteers will facilitate different types of fun and creative activities for the children where VIN works.Objectives: -To provide unique opportunities for overall development (social, emotional, physical, mental, creativity) and provide fun-time for children aged between 5 and 12 utilizing their vacation period.-To promote the friendship, understanding and solidarity among local young volunteers and cross-national volunteers.-To provide an opportunity to understand and appreciate the Nepalese culture and traditions via cultural immersion.The volunteers will conduct children s camp to promote their innate talents and creativity for their overall physical, mental, social and emotional development. During the children s camp volunteers will prepare sessions and take classes on following topics: Physical exercises, team building, drawing, colouring and painting, art, craft and origami, singing and dancing, drama, music, hiking, teaching language, and so on.
